Dan Cole to miss Munster clash
Leicester will be without prop Dan Cole for this weekend's clash with Munster as he is ruled out with a cut on his thigh.
"Dan got injured at the weekend. He has a nasty cut on his quad from a boot and that will make him unavailable for the Munster game," said director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
"There's no structural damage but it's a fair old laceration. It has been stitched and dressed and will be a couple of weeks. Hopefully he will be OK to play in the next game."
