- On Saturday, Leinster defeated Munster 24-18 at Aviva Stadium, a match marked by Munster's Gavin Coombes alleging he was grabbed in the groin by an opponent during the 39th minute.

- Furlong could face a sanction following a disciplinary hearing at a later date, creating a potential blow to Ireland head coach Andy Farrell ahead of the Nations Championship resumption next weekend.
