Reports suggest Leinster’s Marty Moore sustained a hamstring tear at the weekend and as a result will play no part in this year’s Six Nations Championship.
The tighthead prop was named in Joe Schmidt’s 35-man squad for the tournament last week, before lining out for Leinster against Wasps on Saturday.
The Irish province were defeated 51-10 in the game and Moore picked up an injury that has now been assessed as a grade two hamstring tear - requiring six-eight weeks recuperation time.

[/raw]Have to feel for Marty Moore. Another big injury for him heading into an international period.

His was not the only injury worry for Ireland after the game, outhalf Jonny Sexton is also a doubt after he left the field with a head injury.
