Leinster have confirmed that Ben Te'o will be out for around six weeks after breaking his arm during his debut on Friday.

Former league star Te'o's debut lasted just 19 minutes as his new side won 33-18 against Edinburgh, having joined from the NRL's South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Leinster announced on their official website that Te'o, who suffered a fractured forearm during a regulation tackle, had a successful operation on Saturday morning.

The club also announced that another new signing, Kane Douglas, also had to be taken off in the first half and will be assessed by their medical team as part of the return to play protocols.
