O’Kelly citing adds to Leinster’s woes

LEINSTER lock Malcolm O’Kelly has been cited following an incident during the province’s Heineken Cup defeat by Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday.

O’Kelly was yellow-carded for appearing to stamp on Wasps’ Phil Vickery and the citing compounds the selection problems facing coach Michael Cheika ahead of Sunday’s crunch Heineken Cup game against Edinburgh at the RDS.

O’Kelly’s second row colleague Leo Cullen was forced out of the Wasps game with a shoulder injury and, worryingly for Cheika, it is the same shoulder that required an operation last year, a procedure which kept Cullen on the sidelines for some months.
