Injured Irish rugby duo Denis Hickie and Alan Quinlan both arrive back from the Rugby World Cup in Australia tomorrow to begin their rehabilitation.

Ireland winger Hickie was ruled out of the World Cup after medics confirmed he will require immediate surgery on a serious Achilles injury suffered in Saturday's nail biting 17-16 defeat to Australia.

Meanwhile, Quinlan dislocated his shoulder in the Pool A win over Argentina a week earlier.

Denis Hickie will arrive in Dublin airport at 9am from London and Alan Quinlan will arrive in Shannon at 11.30am.
