Dan Leavy provides post-surgery update a month on from horror injury
By Josh Raisey
Ireland and Leinster flanker Dan Leavy has provided his Instagram followers an update from hospital after having surgery on his knee.
The 24-year-old sustained a horrific ligament injury to his knee in Leinster’s Champions Cup quarter-final victory against Ulster in March, and is now set to miss the World Cup.
The flanker had only just returned from injury after missing Ireland’s entire Six Nations defence, and this further layoff will mark a devastating year for the player.
Leavy posted this message after surgery, saying it was the “[f]irst step on the road to recovery done and dusted”:

To be fair it was nowhere bear the Leinster first team (for which, btw, Leinster copped nothing like the outrage that Jake White did for sending a rotated team to the UK). But it’s fun to watch the Stormers doing their thing. They are attracting big, diverse crowds of young fans, and deservedly so. Great to see.
Go to commentsIt might be legal but he’s sailing pretty close to the wind. Not a lot needs to go wrong for Finau to end up in the bin. Was it late? Not quite, but borderline. High? A couple of CM within the laws, no room for error with that one. Did he wrap the arms? There was a token effort to wrap one arm, the intent was clearly to hit with the shoulder. So yeah, it’s legal, just. But as we all know, a very slight change in the dynamics could easily have him seeing red. Hopefully not when it really matters.
