Cautious Leavy not taking any chances with injury recovery

Dan Leavy was injured maybe a month or so, his prognosis having confirmed a catastrophic knee injury and a watching brief at the upcoming World Cup, when he posted a message on social media explaining how such a sudden plunge in fortunes was “haunting” him.

Only four months have passed since the fateful day when he damaged an assortment of ligaments in the left knee, an injury suffered just 10 minutes after taking to the field as a second-half replacement in Leinster’s Champions Cup win against Ulster at Aviva Stadium.
