Connacht blow as Faloonset for six-month lay-off

Connacht fear Willie Faloon will be sidelined for six months with a suspected broken foot.

Faloon sustained the injury playing against his former club Ulster on Saturday night with coach Pat Lam describing the injury as a “definite long-termer”.

Lam said: “We will be getting a full review today, but it looks like his foot is broken and will require surgery which could mean a lay-off of four, five, six months or maybe longer.
