Leinster prop Marty Moore will miss Ireland's autumn Test series after being ruled out of action for 12 weeks. The 23-year-old tighthead suffered a 'bang on his shoulder' in Leinster's 20-3 victory at Zebre on Saturday, coach Leo Cullen has confirmed. Dublin-born Moore would have competed with Leinster team-mate Mike Ross for Ireland's starting tighthead spot in November's three-Test Guinness Series.
