Rob Kearney and Jamie Heaslip ruled out of Champions Cup QF

Leinster will be without the services of Ireland No. 8 Jamie Heaslip and fullback Rob Kearney for this weekend's clash against Cardiff. 

Both players missed Ireland's final 6 Nations game against England.

The province revealed that Kearney “had a minor procedure on his knee on Tuesday and will be out for the next few weeks”.

While Heaslip “had a minor procedure on his lower back this (Friday) morning”, and Cullen has ruled him out “for a number of weeks”.

This means that both players will be unavailable for Leinster's Champions Cup Quarter-Final against Wasps on 1 April.
