No Leinster reunion for Rocky

A RETURN to Leinster for Heineken Cup-winning hero Rocky Elsom has been dismissed in the province, despite reports to the contrary in his native Australia.

The Sydney Morning Herald suggested Australia skipper Elsom was “likely to return to Leinster” following this year’s World Cup, part of an expected exodus of Wallabies stars to Europe at the end of the tournament.

The likelihood of Elsom, man of the match in the 2009 Heineken Cup final triumph over Leicester, moving back to Leinster, however, was yesterday dismissed, with France the likely destination for the 27-year-old back rower.
