Ireland prop Andrew Porter has been ruled out of Leinster’s United Rugby Championship final with the Bulls.<\/b><\/p>\n
Porter was forced off in the first half of the semi-final win over the Stormers and will miss Friday’s decider at Croke Park.<\/p>\n
Captain Caelan Doris and hooker Dan Sheehan are also both injury doubts and will be assessed before the game.<\/p>\n
Doris picked up a knee injury in the win over the Stormers while Sheehan missed the last-four tie.<\/p>\n
Porter was absent for Ireland’s Six Nations campaign with a calf issue and head coach Andy Farrell is set to name his squad for July’s internationals on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Ireland will face Australia, Japan and New Zealand in their opening Nations Championship fixtures. <\/p>\n
Leo Cullen’s Leinster are aiming to win the URC in back-to-back years after they missed out on a fifth Champions Cup success with defeat by Bordeaux in Bilbao in May.<\/p>\n
Ryan Baird, Jack Boyle, Will Connors, Hugh Cooney, RG Snyman, Charlie Tector and Paddy McCarthy are long-term absentees for Leinster and will miss the URC decider.<\/p>\n
The game is a repeat of last season’s final, which Leinster won 32-7, and the Bulls have lost three of the past four deciders as they look to win their first URC title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
