Marty Moore Could Return Sooner Than Expected

Marty Moore could be back in action sooner than expected after the Ireland and Leinster prop went under the knife last Friday on a foot injury.

It was originally thought that Moore could be missing for six to eight weeks but the Blues have released a medical update today revealing that he is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks.

The injury shattered the tighthead's Rugby World Cup dream with provincial team mate Tadhg Furlong selected instead by Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt.

Meanwhile Mick Kearney (foot) and Rhys Ruddock (arm) are nearing a return to action for Leinster but a return in Round 3 of the Guinness PRO12 is more realistic for them both.

Tom Denton and Kevin McLaughlin were both removed from the game against Edinburgh as a result of knocks to the head and are now following the graduated return to play protocols but a final call will not be made until later in the week. 

Gordon D'Arcy is seeing a specialist this week on a shoulder injury that he had scanned last week and is ruled out of the Cardiff Blues game as a result. 

Isa Nacewa did not train yesterday but took a full part today and is expected to be fit for the first home game of the season in the RDS.
