Duffy back on Connacht injury list

Connacht suffered a setback in their preparations for Friday’s Heineken Cup game against Biarritz with the news that captain Gavin Duffy has been ruled out of action for four to five weeks with a hamstring injury.

The Mayo man, who has only recently returned to the team after an injury-enforced absence, limped off the pitch 23 minutes into last weekend’s one-point defeat to Edinburgh Rugby.
