The Pembroke man has a glut strain which he aggravated playing for Leinster Lightning in the recent Hanley Energy Championship match against NW Warriors at Oak Hill.

“It’s not too serious but we prefer to have him 100% for the match against Scotland A the following week,” said Wolves coach Pete Johnston.
