Veainu suffers a broken jaw

Matt O’Connor has confirmed that Leicester Tigers full-back Telusa Veainu suffered a broken jaw in the team’s European Champions Cup game against Munster on Saturday.

Veainu was hurt in a challenge from Munster’s Andrew Conway as the Tigers full-back fielded a kick during the early stages of the second half at Thomond Park.

Both players received medical treatment on the pitch before being replaced and Tigers head coach confirmed the extent of Veainu’s injury in his post-match press conference.
