Leinster get a boost ahead of Champions Cup quarterfinal
SQUAD UPDATE: Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has issued an injury update ahead of Friday’s Champions Cup quarterfinal clash with Glasgow Warriors at Lansdowne Road.
The good news for the Irish province is that hooker Rónan Kelleher has recovered from a neck injury and will be available for selection this weekend.
The other player returning to the selection frame is James Culhane. The loose forward has come through the Graduated Return to Play Protocols.
The bad news for Leinster is that lock James Ryan is unavailable for selection after injuring his calf at training last week.
There were no further updates on Jordan Larmour, Paddy McCarthy, Rob Russell, Alex Soroka or Will Connors.
Leinster dominated Harlequins in a one-sided affair at Croke Park, booking their spot in the Champions Cup quarter finals in front of 55,627 spectators.
The Irish side, who have been runners-up in each of the past three seasons, built a commanding lead in the first half, thanks to tries from returning Ireland internationals Sam Prendergast, Joe McCarthy, and Jamie Osborne, with a final scoreline reading 62-0.
“Sun on the back. 3 o’clock kick off. It’s hard to beat.” ☀️🙌
