Leinster has confirmed that James Ryan was fit to travel to South Africa despite the latest violent activities, but the province decided to let him stay at home.
Andrew Porter and Rónan Kelleher have returned from injuries without any issue as they face a double date in South Africa.
The duo has also been included in the 31-man squad that arrived overnight. “James Ryan was involved in the extended matchday squad against Connacht and is again available for selection, but has not traveled to South Africa and will continue to train back in Dublin,” a Leinster statement read.
There is no further news on Dave Kearney, Will Connors, and Ryan Baird. Meanwhile, Ulster Rugby has issued a squad update ahead of Friday’s URC clash against Munster at Kingspan Stadium.
On Saturday, Billy Burns and Kieran Treadwell sustained concussions during the Heineken Champions Cup defeat to Toulouse, so both players will now follow the Graduated Return to Play protocols.
