Leinster scrum coach Robin McBryde says he has full faith in the province’s medical staff to make the right call on when James Ryan can return to on-field action.

Following the head injury he sustained in Ireland’s 53-7 triumph over Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, the 25-year-old lock has been ruled out of of contention for the Blues’ United Rugby Championship encounter with Ulster at the RDS this Saturday (kick-off 8pm).
