# Rugby: Ireland and Leinster captain Caelan Doris will be out of action for up to six months following shoulder surgery. The 27-year-old sustained the injury in Leinster’s 37-34 Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton on 3 May. The back-row was last week left out of the British and Irish Lions’ squad for the upcoming tour of Australia by head coach Andy Farrell. Doris had previously been a frontrunner for the Lions captaincy, which was given to England and Saracens lock Maro Itoje.
