Rugby:Leinster could be without both Jamie Hagan and Nathan White for next weekend's Pro12 trip to face defending champions Munster Thomond Park as the tightheads continue to recover from injuries picked up against the Ospreys on Friday night.

White was replaced by Hagan after just 30 minutes of the narrow defeat at the RDS when the big Kiwi picked up a facial injury. But Hagan failed to finish the match, the former Connacht front row suffering a rib injury that will almost certainly keep him sidelined this week. White will be assessed again later in the week.

While the duo’s potential absence leaves coach Joe Schmidt thin on options, he should at least have Ireland international Mike Ross back in harness. Ross will return along with Rob Kearney, Gordon D’Arcy, Jonathan Sexton, Eoin Reddan, Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip and Sean O’Brien after the Irish contingent were rested last week.

Brian O’Drsicoll and Leo Cullen both came through their comebacks with no problems and are available for the trip to Limerick while Brad Thorn is set for more game time with his new teammates.
