Leinster assistant coach Robin McBryde said the timing of the upcoming Emerging Ireland tour to South Africa is not ideal as Leinster get their season underway.
Leinster are set to be without 12 players as a squad is set to make their way to South Africa in two weeks' time. Players on the tour will likely miss at least two URC games, just as the season gets underway.
The Emerging Ireland team will face the Pumas in the campaign opener on Wednesday, October 2nd, before going head-to-head with Super Rugby outfit Western Force on Sunday, October 6th.
They will conclude the Tour against defending Currie Cup champions the Cheetahs on Wednesday, October 9th, with all matches being played at Toyota Stadium.
