Ireland's Gordon D'Arcy could be back in training in six weeks, according to Leinster coach Michael Cheika.
"Gordon is visiting the surgeon," said Cheika. So, we'll get a clearer picture after that when the cast will come off. The idea will be: re x-ray - see how they're healing and see from there how he comes up.
"Hopefully, he'll be coming back six to seven weeks after the injury happened.
"I think the biggest thing for players is to get out of the cast because you can't do stuff. With a removable cast at least you can work away and do other training, you can maybe go away and do something away from the game.
"But until that cast comes off you're incapacitated so you've just got to hang around".
