Mixed news on the injury front for Leinster as squad reassemble for trip to Montpellier

Leinster expect to have captain Johnny Sexton available for selection for their Heineken Champions Cup trip to Montpellier this weekend. The out-half was forced off with a dead leg as Ireland finished their Autumn Nations Cup campaign with a 31-16 home win over Scotland on Saturday, raising concerns he would miss the province's opening game of the 2020/21 European season.
However Leinster have today confirmed that they expect Sexton to be ready to go for Saturday's clash at the Altrad Stadium.
And there was further good news for Leinster head coach Leo Cullen with flanker Will Connors passed fit to play having missed Ireland's win over Scotland as he completed Return to Play Protocols.
Jimmy O'Brien is also available for selection having recovered from a back problem.
However a number of key players are facing a race against time to be passed fit. Garry Ringrose, who broke his jaw during Ireland's Six Nations win over Italy, will be further assessed this week, as will wing James Lowe (groin).
James Ryan has entered the Gratuated Return to Play Protocols after being removed for a HIA during the Scotland game, and will be monitored throughout the week.
Prop Ed Byrne has been ruled out with a calf injury, while there was no further update provided on Tadhg Furlong (calf), Tommy O’Brien (ankle), Jack Conan (neck), Max Deegan (knee), Jordan Larmour (shoulder), Vakh Abdaladze (back) or Adam Byrne (hamstring).
Meanwhile, Leinster have confirmed that tighthead prop Ciarán Parker has returned to Jersey Reds after completing a short-term loan deal.

Two 40 year old coaches, two 50 year old coaches and two 60 year old coaches can all have vastly different levels of experience. That should be idiot-proof. If you still can’t understand how or why age and experience are NOT conflated, then that’s entirely on you.
You could perhaps google the term paradox?

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
