Positive injury news sees spirits high for London trip

Injury updates from Leinster’s UCD base have more often than not been dispiriting affairs this season but yesterday’s was refreshingly positive ahead of tomorrow’s Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final away to Wasps.

Gordon D’Arcy, a late withdrawal for Saturday’s RaboDirect PRO12 defeat to Ulster due to illness, has returned to training and is available for selection.

Fergus McFadden is another to have erased all doubts as to his wellbeing after concerns over a rib injury were eased after participating at the team’s Belfield training base.
