O’Driscoll yet to be ruled out of back-to-back Clermont clashes

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL hasn’t yet been ruled out of Leinster’s December Heineken Cup back-to-back games against Clermont Auvergne, despite suffering a suspected cracked jawbone in Ireland’s victory over Argentina on Saturday.

However, the Irish skipper faces further medical assessment in Dublin today prior to Leinster’s trip for a Magners League clash against Llanelli Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets on Friday (7.05pm).

Leinster coach Joe Schmidt will be hoping for good news on the O’Driscoll front, but definitely he won’t be involved in the Welsh fixture.
