Cheika hopeful of Lewis return to Leinster in future

KIERAN LEWIS may be swapping the blue of Leinster for Munster red this summer but Michael Cheika is hopeful that the Dubliner will play for his native province again.

The 26-year centre/wing has earned 60 caps with Leinster stretching back to his debut in 2002 but has found it impossible to nail down a permanent place in the back line.

Trevor Hogan and Stephen Keogh made the reverse journey last summer and Lewis will be hoping he can adapt to his new surroundings with the same success.
