Cronin set to miss Six Nations

By
Monday 16 Jan 2017

The injury is expected to keep him on the sidelines for 10 weeks.

The 31-year-old, a veteran of 56 Tests, was expected to provide bench cover for Ireland captain Rory Best during the tournament.

Cronin, however, suffered the hamstring tear against Italian side Zebre and is out for more than two months, with Ireland starting their Six Nations title bid away to Scotland in Edinburgh on February 4.

"It's quite a significant hamstring injury," Leinster coach Stuart Lancaster said.

"It's a real shame for him as he's actually playing great rugby but it's a good opportunity for us to get him right and make sure we don't get a recurrence of this because it must be hugely frustrating for him."

Former England coach Lancaster added: "He's got himself into great form and now he'll miss the Six Nations.

"He went to push-off and accelerate around the corner and saw it go. He's deeply disappointed but he'll be back a better player."
