Corrigan sidelined by unlucky break

Five tries, a 24-point victory. There was no reason for anyone to feel downcast.

That's unless you were Reggie Corrigan, arm in plaster, out for the rest of the Six Nations Championship and also for Leinster's April Heineken Cup quarter-final at Lansdowne Road.

He brought off one tackle too many in the first half of the clash with Italy, breaking his lower arm and he will have a metal plate inserted in an operation in Dublin today.
