Here are 4 worrying images for fans of the Lions or Leinster

Leinster have lost two men from Warren Gatland’s squad this evening.

Brian O’Driscoll is injured

He was been replaced by Andrew Conway with what Joe Schmidt called a back spasm in the early stages of this evening’s RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final against Glasgow Warriors.

Plus, Sean O’Brien didn’t make the starting XV after struggling all week with a calf problem

That’s the calf in his leg – no farmer jokes.

To add to their worries, Niko Matawalu sneaked over for this early score

But the Fijian has since been sin-binned and Jamie Heaslip has scored to help Leinster back into the lead.

    Looking at the exercises he is doing there it looks more like a back injury. Not good :(

    Back spasm according to Joe. I imagine he was taken off as a precaution. Bit of deep heat an a good massage and he’ll be right as rain. *fingers crossed*
