Duncan Jones has been ruled out of action after suffering a knee injury in last Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 defeat to Ulster.
The prop was forced off the field early in the second half of the game, and following further investigation, Head Physio Chris Towers says that Jones faces a spell on the sidelines:
“Duncan suffered damage to the medial ligament of his knee” Towers confirmed.
“In terms of prognosis, we are looking at something around an eight week lay-off to allow him to heal and regain his strength and fitness to get back playing again.”
