Ciarán Frawley limped out of Leinster's win at Connacht while there is news from the province on Robbie Henshaw, Joe McCarthy and Ryan Baird
Leinster have said that Ciarán Frawley's ankle injury is not serious - and it is now expected that he will be available for Ireland's Autumn Series opener against the All Blacks on Friday, November 8.
There were fears that he might be a doubt for the four Test series in November, but while the Skerries man may miss Saturday's home URC clash with the Lions at the Aviva Stadium - he will be further assessed before a final decision is made - Frawley's prognosis is good news for Ireland boss Andy Farrell.READ MORE: RG Snyman a cut above the rest as Leinster roll over Connacht in Galway
Plus Joe McCarthy, who hasn't played since the round two win at Benetton due to a hamstring injury, may come back into the selection picture. Ryan Baird could play, too, as he is in the final stages of his return to play protocols, and Jordan Larmour is another of Leinster's international who could also make a comeback.
