Injury setback for Connacht

Connacht will have to cope without winger Brian Tuohy and flanker Johnny O'Connor for some time, with the pair due to undergo surgery.

Both players were injured during Connacht's 15-13 defeat to Leinster on Sunday and scans have revealed that both will need to go under the knife.

Tuohy broke his leg and underwent surgery on Monday. The winger is not expected to feature again this season.

O'Connor is yet to undergo surgery, but will need to do so in order to fix a fractured cheekbone.
