Jennings aims to bag World Cup spot

Man of the moment, Shane Jennings, is returning to Leinster next season, but fans might not get a glimpse of him in blue until November if the open-side flanker makes it to the World Cup.

His first and final trial game starts here.

When Jennings steps into the seething cauldron that will be the Estadio Jose Amalfitani, the home of Velez Sarsfield, tomorrow to win is first cap, he hopes they will be the opening strides in his international journey. He loves it here in Buenos Aires, and it seems he was built for this kind of environment. Teak-tough, the proverbial groundhog that is Jennings won’t be put off by a hostile environment, but will relish the opportunity of facing the power and muscle and brute force of Los Pumas.
