Van der Flier to miss SA tour

By
Wednesday 11 May 2016

The Ireland international saw a specialist on Monday and following further review it was decided that he should have an operation to repair the damage.

He had surgery yesterday and it was a success but he will be out for eight weeks and will miss next Friday semifinal against Ulster at the RDS Arena.

Rob Kearney (ankle) and Johnny Sexton (quad) were both withdrawn against Benetton Treviso for precautionary reasons but are making good progress from both injuries.
