Cheika awaits Pala'amo injury diagnosis

Leinster coach Michael Cheika will wait anxiously for the swelling on Fosi Pala'amo's ankle to come down so that the medical staff can judge whether he has suffered a sprain or ligament damage.

The problem is that Leinster are already without Will Green, with a trapped nerve in his neck, and New Zealander Stan Wright flew in to Dublin on Sunday to provide back-up on the tight-head side of the scrum.

Wright will undergo a number of strength and fitness tests to see if he is up to the intensity of Heineken Cup rugby against what is a massive Agen pack with All Black Kees Meeuws in their front row.
