Leo Cullen has given Leinster and Ireland supporters a huge boost by indicating James Ryan could be back from injury much sooner than first expected.

A Leinster squad update Monday said the second-row powerhouse had suffered a shoulder injury in training that had required a medical procedure and added Ryan would be out of action for 10-12 weeks.
