Ronan Kelleher has been flown home by Leinster
By Ian Cameron
Ireland hooker Ronan Kelleher has been flown home from South Africa by Leinster - a decision branded as precautionary by the province.
The Leinster second-string side came very close to beating the Sharks in Durban on Saturday, with an 83rd-minute attempt at the South African's line judged to have been held up.
The 28 - 23 defeat in their first fixture against the Sharks in the URC isn't all Leo Cullen's side have had to contend with.
There are also concerns for their other hooker - James Treacy - who picked up a neck niggle during the week.
Kelleher had just returned to action for the men in blue after picking up an injury during the Guinness Six Nations.
A Leinster statement reads: "A 31-player squad is currently on a two-week tour of South Africa during which they play two games, the first of which was a defeat to Cell C Sharks last Saturday evening.
"Ahead of that clash, hooker Rónan Kelleher, named to start initially, was withdrawn as a precaution with a minor shoulder knock. He has returned to Dublin and will be assessed further at the squad's base in UCD.
"James Tracy picked up a neck injury in training last week and will be further assessed before a final decision is made on his availability for this weekend.
"The same applies to Max Deegan who suffered a shoulder injury during that 28-23 defeat in Durban."
There was good news on Ryan Baird however.
"There's also positive news on Ryan Baird. The lock picked up a back injury on Ireland duty during the Six Nations and he will now step up his rehabilitation in UCD this week."
There is no update on second row Jams Ryan, who is still making comeback after suffering a concussion against England during the Six Nations.
England second-row Charlie Ewels ran into Ryan and was red-carded for the incident just 70 seconds into their fixture in Twickenham in March. Ewels was subsequently banned.

Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
The teams will need to be more competitive at some stage as I’m sure it won’t be cost effective before long. It’s a lot of money and resources they have to pump into it just to field teams, let alone compete.
Even with the Boks only focus being on RWC’s, the euro comps would be a great way to develop test players in the first 1-3 years of a RWC cycle.
Go to commentsIt's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.
Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
