Brian Gleeson of Munster leaves the pitch with an injury against Leinster

Promising Munster back rower Brian Gleeson has been ruled out of action until Christmas after undergoing surgery on an elbow fracture picked up against Leinster last weekend.

It’s the latest injury blow for the Tipperary native who carried his brilliant Irish U-20 form into Munster when he made his debut this month two years ago against the Sharks.
