Ireland backrow Jack Conan will be available for selection for Leinster’s United Rugby Championship game against Ulster at the Aviva Stadium of Friday (kick-off 7.45pm).
Conan has come through the graduated return to play protocols following a head injury he picked up in Leinster’s 23-15 Champions Cup win over Leicester on Friday.
The 33-year-old was involved in a heavy collision with Leicester fullback Freddie Steward in the opening minutes of the second round fixture at Welford Road, subsequently failing his HIA to be replaced by Max Deegan.
Jimmy O’Brien will undergo further assessed on a hamstring injury, with a decision on his availability to be made later in the week, as is the case for prop Tadhg Furlong and backrow Will Connors.
