Connacht's Darragh Leader's season is over after the back-three player suffered a fractured finger ruling him out for six to eight weeks.
The Galway man suffered the injury in the captain's run for the Westerners clash with Zebre this Saturday and is replaced in the squad for that tie by Shane O'Leary.
The injury should see Leader return in time for the 2015/2016 pre-season.
