The Irish international has been ruled out for up to 5 weeks with a rib injury meaning he faces a race against time to be fit against Leinster for the first big derby of the season on October 8th.

Niall Scannell is once more named in the pack, he says the scrum will be a crucial aspect of the game.

Kickoff tomorrow at Irish Independent Park in Cork
