Updated June 09, 2025
Leinster’s readiness for the United Rugby Championship (URC) final against the Bulls has been elaborate by injury concerns surrounding key players. Tadhg Furlong, Garry Ringrose, Hugo Keenan, and Josh van der Flier are all doubtful for Saturday’s crucial match at Croke Park in Dublin.
The Leinster squad is dealing with multiple injury issues as they prepare for the URC final.Furlong, Ringrose, and Keenan are currently nursing calf injuries. Van der Flier’s availability is uncertain due to a hamstring problem, which will be evaluated before the game.
Furlong, the experienced tight-head prop, has had a season disrupted by injuries. His last appearance was in Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton on May 3. The 32-year-old has only played eight times for Leinster this season and missed most of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign.
Ringrose has been sidelined since injuring himself in the match against Zebre on May 10, while Van der Flier sustained his hamstring injury during the URC quarter-final victory over Scarlets. The team’s depth will be tested in this significant final as they aim for the URC championship.
In positive news for Leinster, Jordan Larmour is fit and available after being part of the extended matchday squad in last weekend’s semi-final win against Glasgow. Tommy O’brien also emerged from that game unscathed after recovering from a foot injury.
What’s next
Leinster will assess the injured players in the coming days to determine their availability for the final against the Bulls. The team hopes to have as many key players fit as possible for the crucial match.
