Leinster have confirmed that flanker Dan Leavy has been ruled out of the World Cup following an injury sustained against Ulster in the Champions Cup.
Leavy was stretchered off with what has been revealed as a ‘complex knee ligament injury’, which will sideline him for a lengthy period.
We know the Leinster Rugby family and all of @OLSCRugby will join us in wishing @DanLeafy94 the best of luck with his recovery over the coming weeks and months. 👊
