Visser’s vitality a real concern for Leinster

It says everything about the impact Tim Visser has made on the wing with Edinburgh — and Scotland — that so much time was devoted to the Flying Dutchman at Leinster’s weekly press conference yesterday.

Queries on such occasions are normally centred towards news and players in the home camp, especially in Pro12 weeks when the immediate gathering can sometimes pass without the next opponents meriting even a perfunctory mention.

Visser has earned the attention. Six tries in Edinburgh’s first three games this season is an exceptional rate of return but the 25-year old from Zeewolde has been merely continuing a rich and lengthy vein of form.
