HARRY BYRNE AND Max Deegan have been ruled out of Leinster’s URC Round 2 clash with the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
Out-half Byrne and back row Deegan suffered concussions in Leinster’s narrow opening-weekend defeat to the Lions and will follow graduated return-to-play protocols this week.
Back row Josh Ericson, who shone in Johannesburg, is also a doubt to face the Sharks, with his neck injury requiring further assessment. Scrum-half Cormac Foley, meanwhile, will step up his training this week as he nears a return from a calf injury.
Leinster said there was no further update on Jamison Gibson-Park, whose groin injury was last week described as “minor”.
