Hogan happy to bide his time with Leinster after long road to recovery

EIGHTEEN months ago, Trevor Hogan was playing his part as Ireland went about putting 50 points on the board against Italy in Rome in the Six Nations.

Lately however, it has been all about getting a run, any run, with his club.

One of four Leinster forwards to miss out narrowly on selection for last year’s World Cup, Hogan returned to Dublin on release from international duties with Jamie Heaslip, Leo Cullen and Keith Gleeson where his early season form belied any sense of grievance or disappointment.
