Leinster's Fitzgerald to return to full training

Ireland and Leinster winger Luke Fitzgerald is set to return full training with the province this week bringing an end to eight months of rehabilitation after the flyer had surgery to correct a neck problem.

If Fitzgerald doesn’t make Saturday’s RaboDirect PRO12 clash against Connacht in the RDS (7.45pm) it is hoped that he will be in contention for the trip to Edinburgh in the next round of PRO12 matches.
