Leinsters Jack Boyle Ruled Out Of This Year's Six Nations Due To Injury

It's been confirmed he will undergo a procedure on his Achilles tendon this week.

It's been confirmed by Leinster Rugby that Jack Boyle will undergo a procedure on his Achilles tendon this week.

It's after the prop sustained the injury in Saturday’s URC win over Connacht at Dexcom Stadium.

Boyle had been included in Andy Farrell's 37-man squad for this year's Six Nations Championship so Connacht's Billy Bohan has been called up in his place.

Farrell expressed his disappointment for Boyle at the tournament's launch in Edinburgh today:

Meanwhile Leinster say there are no further fitness updates on Ryan Baird, Robbie Henshaw, Jordan Larmour, Paddy McCarthy, Jimmy O’Brien, Andrew Porter and Rabah Slimani.
