Leinster forwards coach refuses to rule out O'Driscoll

Brian O'Driscoll has not been ruled out of Leinster's Heineken Cup match against Saracens at Wembley on Saturday.

“The scan has revealed a more positive outlook than we thought on Saturday. He hasn’t been definitively ruled out,” said forwards coach Jono Gibbes.

A decision on his availability for this weekend’s game will be made later this week.

Meanwhile, Leo Cullen (shoulder) stepped up his rehabilitation and it is hoped that the Leinster captain will be available for selection this weekend.

Shaun Berne (Achilles) continues to progress with his rehabilitation, though his return to action is several weeks away.
