DLSP

Second row Andy Wood (hand) and Bruce Wood (lower back) are both receiving treatment. Romanian full back Mihai Vioreanu may be available while coach Phil Werahiko is to check on the progress of Leinster flanker Declan O'Brien, who is recovering from a knee operation. O'Brien has not played in two months.

Old Crescent

Brian Toland, brother of Leinster captain Liam, damaged a hamstring and retired early in the defeat by Blackrock and remains the main doubt for the weekend. The Limerick club expect to have Australian centre Jay Cusack available for selection.

Young Munster

Mike Mullins is out for four weeks after fracturing a jaw last Saturday. He has had a plate inserted. Peter Clohessy has been called into the Barbarians squad for the game against South Africa and this has left coach Matt te Pou with a problem at prop, something of an irony given Mary's problems last week.

Buccaneers

Jimmy Screene (calf), Eamon Molloy (ankle) and Darren Yapp (hamstring) are coach Brian Rigney's concerns ahead of the Lansdowne game. The continued absence through injury of prop John Maher until after Christmas makes Screene's problem all the more worrying for Rigney.

Lansdowne

The fitness of their three injured representative players, Reggie Corrigan, Liam Toland and Gordon D'Arcy, is the main preoccupation for coach Brian Allen. Corrigan has been out for a month while Toland and D'Arcy suffered recent injuries.

Garryowen

A couple of injury concerns and the likelihood that flanker David Wallace (hand) may miss out for the visit of Con.

Cork Constitution

Irish outhalf Ronan O'Gara (hand) missed last Saturday's game and is doubtful for the trip to Limerick while wing Anthony Horgan has been dogged by a cracked rib suffered while playing for Ireland A against South Africa. Cian Mahony is still out injured while Denis O'Dowd has decided to go to Australia for 12 months. Better news is that prop Ian Murray is once again available.

Blackrock College

They don't have too many injury concerns arising from the victory over Old Crescent and are resigned to being without Brian O'Driscoll until well into the New Year.

Ballymena

Coach Andre Bester pointed out: "I haven't seen any of the players yet. We only train twice a week. I'll know the extent of our injuries after training tonight." So there you have it. Oh, second row Gary Longwell sat out the afternoon session of Monday's Irish squad training following a bang to his shoulder and must be doubtful for the weekend.

Dungannon

Tyrone Howe, Jonathan Bell and Ryan Constable are still unavailable for selection while David Humphreys may not play after picking up an ankle injury last weekend.

St Mary's College

It never rains but it pours for coach Brent Pope. Mark McHugh will be out for six weeks with a chipped bone in his ankle. Denis Hickie (groin) and Peter McKenna (ankle) are also ruled out. Malcolm O'Kelly is with the Barbarians while Trevor Brennan is considered no better than 50/50 after missing the last match. Prop Peter Coyle recently underwent a shoulder operation and is likely to be out for the season. Pope is praying that Eddie Hekenui - he goes to see a doctor today to examine a disc problem in his back - and Emmet Byrne might return.

Terenure College

Eric Miller (flu) and James Blaney (shoulder) who missed the draw with Lansdowne should be available. The main concern is Australian flanker Luke Hammond (ankle) while outhalf Shane Cullen is nursing a dead leg.

Clontarf

They have no injury problems and hope to announce their team today.

Belfast Harlequins

Promising number eight Chris McCarey will miss his second game in succession with a shoulder problem.

Shannon

The queue for the physiotherapist's table is a lengthy one and includes Frankie Roche, prop Marcus Horan, number eight Anthony Foley, right wing John O'Neill and scrumhalf Peter Stringer.
