Rugby:Leinster's Shane Jennings suffered a new setback after undergoing an operation on his broken arm sustained during last weekend's Magners League final.

The Leinster flanker picked up the injury in the second half of the final defeat to Munster at Thomond Park and had an operation in Dublin yesterday.

The latest setback comes after a knee cartilage injury kept him sidelined earlier this season.

Jennings will now be in a race to recover in time ahead of the World Cup which gets underway in New Zealand in September.
