Leinster's Garry Ringrose ruled out of Munster PRO14 derby and doubts remain over three others
By Online Editors
Leinster have ruled out centre Garry Ringrose from selection for their upcoming PRO14 derby with Munster at Thomond Park.
Ringrose injured his jaw in the game against Northampton Saints at the weekend and will be unavailable for selection this week, the province have confirmed.
Further injury assessment will be made on three other injured parties from a bruising weekend at the RDS. Rhys Ruddock injured his ribs in the Champions Cup victory and will "be further assessed this week before a final decision is made."
It's the same for Harry Byrne who injured his back in the final stages of the warm-up and also undergo a fitness test later in the week.
Jimmy O’Brien, who underwent a HIA following a friendly fire collision, has entered the Graduated Return to Play Protocols.
There was good news elsewhere however, with Jack Conan expected to return to training this week after his neck injury and he will "be available for selection this weekend." Prop Ed Byrne is also set to return to training after his calf injury and he could be selected.
Johnny Sexton (dead leg) and Caelan Doris (calf) were carrying minor injuries but will not be assessed this week as they are on a week off.
No New Injury Update – Unavailable for Selection:
Conor O’Brien (knee), Tommy O’Brien (ankle), James Lowe (groin), Tadhg Furlong (calf), Max Deegan (knee), Jordan Larmour (shoulder), Vakh Abdaladze (back) and Adam Byrne (hamstring)

Well it's a bit disappointing injury hasn't been as much of a selector as I'd hoped for the AB's this weekend.
At least week got ALB in there and they made the call to let Ratima concentrate on building for another go next year already. Upgrades in both positions for me though I'd like it the otherway round, to not be.
Happy for Patrick to earn his start this week, along with EDG.
Mo'unga, please come back home ASAP, we need saving as I'm not sure Razor knows that his captain, Ardie, and Reiko have literally played every test this year, and we can all see he's given you the big desperate PLEASE with these selections.
