Rugby, Australian Football: Ronan O'Gara out with broken hand

Ireland fly-half Ronan O'Gara is set to miss Munster's final Heineken Cup Pool Four games after breaking a bone in his right hand.

The 25-year-old, who became Europe's all-time top scorer with 649 points in Munster's 36-8 round four win over Castres last month, had a scan on Sunday on the hand injury which forced him off in the province's 19-13 Celtic League defeat of Leinster last night.

O'Gara is expected to be out for three weeks, with his replacement Paul Burke now in line for his first European start for Munster, since joining the province in the summer.
