Je viens d'en parler avec un copain supporter du Leinster (si si , c'est possible ) .
Apparemment , c'est pas du pipot .
O'Driscoll , son abscence est tres probable contre nous .
Pour Darcy , c'est tres mal engagé mais il y aurait un tout petit doute .

'Cheika's squad for Connacht press conference wrote:
“We’re targeting the Clermont Auvergne match for [Brian O'Driscoll's] return and we’ve a good medical staff so we’d be pretty confident he’s going to be there
Shaun Berne (Achilles) hasn’t trained since going off at the weekend.
“He’s (D’Arcy) pretty confident himself that once he has a five/six day recovery period he could start some preparations next week and then we’ll make a decision on whether he plays in the Munster fixture.”
Horgan hasn’t played since February 20th in the victory over the Scarlets and that inactivity – he missed the last two matches against Cardiff and Glasgow – is a pressing issue for his coach.
Cheika admitted: “It’s been difficult to find the cause of the pain but we feel we now have a handle on it. I know he’ll be missing this week but we’d hope to have him back within the next two weeks after that.
“It’ll be a bit of an issue because he hasn’t played in a while so we need to make sure he’s got the required preparation before we can unleash him. So it’d be pretty important for him to play next week.”
He explained that in McLaughlin’s case the damage to the shoulder isn’t too bad and given the player’s recent workload with the Ireland squad and Leinster he would have been rested on Saturday anyway.
Hines’ knee problem – a decision will be taken tomorrow on whether he plays against Connacht – that flared up while training with Scotland means that plans to play him as a blindside flanker at the RDS at the weekend may have to be shelved.
He also confirmed that long-term injury victim Luke Fitzgerald would not play again this season.'
