Toner injury not a cause for World Cup concern

Devin Toner’s World Cup ambitions remain intact with the news that the Leinster second row faces just a 4-6 week recovery period from the knee injury suffered against Munster in last week’s Guinness PRO14 semi-final.

The veteran, an infrequent visitor to sick bays for most of his career, had already missed a sizeable chunk of game time earlier in the season with an ankle injury but looks good to join up with Joe Schmidt’s squad for the World Cup build-up.
