Leinster s depleted forward stocks have taken another hit ahead of their Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Exeter Chiefs with news Jack Dunne will be out for 16 weeks after breaking his ankle in training.
Leo Cullen will still be without a number of influential players for the Sandy Park clash this Saturday, with Garry Ringrose (ankle), Will Connors, Caelan Doris and James Ryan (both concussion) not ready to return for the game.
The Blues trained today after they were awarded a walkover when their last 16 meeting with Toulon was cancelled on Friday. Exeter beat Lyon on Saturday to set-up a titanic quarter-final.

VERSATILE LEINSTER BACK Ciaran Frawley is set to be available for selection for his side’s Guinness Pro14 meeting with Ospreys.
The 23-year-old was named to start at centre in the win over Glasgow Warriors last month, before a shoulder injury sustained in the warm-up forced him to withdraw.
However, Frawley is due to train ahead of Friday night’s outing at the RDS, where Leo Cullen’s men will play their last game before the Grand Final against Munster.
