Overview
- Head coach Leo Cullen said neither prop has been cleared and both will be assessed again later in the week.
- Leinster’s prop stocks are thin, with Jack Boyle and Paddy McCarthy sidelined and Alex Usanov unavailable, which led to a start for short‑term loanee Ed Byrne against Benetton.
- Tadhg Furlong limped off in the 29-26 loss to Benetton in Treviso, raising fresh concern ahead of the Toulon visit.
- James Lowe, Jordan Larmour and Diarmuid Mangan returned to training and need checks before selection, while Ryan Baird is out, Charlie Tector is unavailable after a shoulder injury, and RG Snyman remains sidelined.
- Toulon report injuries to several forwards and have Gabin Villière out long term, yet they arrive on the back of a 52-26 Top 14 win over Bayonne.
