Leinster coach left in the lurch ahead of League clash

LEINSTER coach Joe Schmidt is still unsure which international players will be available to him for Saturday’s Magners League clash with Edinburgh.

After a recent resurgence in form, the New Zealander yesterday admitted he has found the experience of losing so many players to the Ireland set-up frustrating as they take part in squad sessions ahead of the November internationals.

Declan Kidney is expected to release those squad members he believes require game time, but Schmidt has warned that anyone returned later in the week will not start the match.
