Felipe Contepomi says Leinster will try to find solutions from without their own squad before exploring the possibility of signing extra cover at tighthead following Tadhg Furlong’s latest injury setback.

Leinster had been optimistic about Furlong's recovery from a calf injury in recent weeks, but yesterday the province issued an injury update outlining that he "hasn't progressed as the physio team would have liked."
