Rugby:Although he won't name his team until later in the week, there are no new injury concerns to cloud Joe Schmidt's thinking as the Leinster coach prepares to face Toulouse in the Heineken Cup semi-final.
Isa Nacewa, Jamie Heaslip and Gordon D’Arcy – who were all rested for the trip to Aironi over the weekend – come back into the equation. And, aside from the occasional bump and bruise, there were no injuries picked up in Italy with all the players reporting for duty during training at UCD today.
Leinster face Toulouse in a repeat of last year’s semi-final at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. The defending European champions booked their place in the Top 14 play-offs on Saturday with a win over Bourgoin.
That match saw Toulouse captain Thierry Dusautoir return from a leg injury and the French international is expected to be fit for the trip to Dublin.
"I felt good even if obviously I was a bit wary because it was the first time in a month that I'd had contact," said Dusautoir.
"I'm going to try to recuperate well but I'm not putting myself under any particular pressure regarding the European semi-final. The aim was to return but I'm going to give myself a few matches to reach my peak."
