It has been confirmed that Connacht's John Muldoon is out for up to six weeks after tearing his calf against Saracens last Friday.

In better news Brett Wilkinson, who also left the field in the second half after taking a knock to his quad, was rested yesterday.

However, the 29-year-old is expected to return to training today.

Matt Healy and Ronan Loughney, who both missed last week's game, are also expected to be fit and available for the trip to Parma to face Zebre this weekend.
