Ireland blow as Moore to miss autumn Test series

Leinster prop Marty Moore will miss Ireland’s autumn Test series after being ruled out of action for 12 weeks.

The 23-year-old tighthead suffered a “bang on his shoulder” in Leinster’s 20-3 victory at Zebre on Saturday, coach Leo Cullen has confirmed.

Moore would have competed with Leinster team-mate Mike Ross for Ireland’s starting tighthead spot in November’s three-Test Guinness Series.
