Caelan Doris to get injury assessed after URC final victory
Summary

Leinster captain Caelan Doris will have a new injury evaluated after leaving the field early in the team's 36-7 victory over the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship final at Croke Park. Doris was forced off just seven minutes into the match due to a concern unrelated to a prior knee injury. His departure raised alarms for Ireland coach Andy Farrell ahead of the upcoming Nations Championship opener against Australia in two weeks. Doris appreciated the team's performance and their response to last month's European Champions Cup loss. He highlighted the motivation within the squad due to several players departing at the season's end.
