Tadhg Furlong will miss Leinster’s URC quarter-final with Scarlets in Dublin this weekend, but is not a doubt for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.

The Ireland tighthead has had to sit out a large chunk of this season with a calf problem, but it is the ‘other’ calf proving to be what the province has termed a ‘minor’ problem right now.
