Johnny Sexton Remains Sidelined With A Head Injury.

Tuesday, 4 May 2021 15:57

Sexton will miss this weekend's Rainbow Cup game against Connacht.

It’s almost a month since Sexton suffered his latest blow to the head in the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final win over Exeter.

Meanwhile, Rhys Ruddock has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a calf injury.

Ulster will be without John Cooney and Robert Baloucoune for Friday’s Rainbow Cup meeting with Munster.

Both players are observing the return-to-play protocols having suffered concussions in the Challenge Cup defeat to Leicester.

Meanwhile, Munster confirmed today that RG Snyman requires a procedure on his knee.

The South African lock suffered a setback in his return from an ACL injury.

Snyman hasn’t played since sustaining the injury in his debut match in August.
