Duffy and Wilkinson blow for Connacht

CONNACHT have suffered a significant double blow ahead of Saturday’s Magners League clash with Leinster after full-back Gavin Duffy and loosehead prop Brett Wilkinson were ruled out through injury.

Prop Wilkinson picked up a hand injury in the 35-3 loss to Munster and will not be available for the visit of the Heineken Cup champions to the Sportsground.

And Duffy will also have to sit this one out after suffering an injury to his jaw.
