The Leinster medics rushed on to assist the 23-year-old but it was immediately clear that he was in a bad way. Larmour grimaced as his arm was assessed and it looks to be a shoulder dislocation that ended his second outing of the season. He was replaced by Jimmy O'Brien for the final 30 minutes.
Larmour was named in Farrell's Ireland squad for the upcoming Six Nations games against Italy and France [on October 24 and 31] but he is unlikely to feature in either game.
Following the game, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen provided an update on Larmour. "He's taken a pretty heavy bang to his shoulder. We'll get him assessed. You could see he was in a fair bit of discomfort and stayed down for a while. Don't know the full extent of it yet, but we'll get him scanned and checked when we get back, and will see the extent of that then."

The 24-times capped international was favourite to retain the No.15 jersey for those games, but Farrell may now opt to give Munster's Andrew Conway that fullback role. The uncapped Hugo Keenan and Shane Daly are other fullback options, as is Ulster's Jacob Stockdale.
Larmour left the fray with Leinster leading 20-18 at Stadio di Mongio and engaged in another tough battle against the Italian outfit. They finished strong, however, and secured a tryscoring bonus point in the final quarter.
