O’Brien: You have to move on quickly

Seán O’Brien insists there will be no nostalgia around the Leinster squad as they fine-tune their preparations before next weekend’s Pro12 kick-off.

After fielding a number of academy faces and very nearly overturning a 26-0 deficit against Northampton Saints in Franklin’s Gardens last week, Leinster face Ulster today before the trip to Glasgow next Saturday as they contemplate a first season since 1999 without Brian O’Driscoll.

O’Brien, now vice-captain with Rob Kearney, believes new captain Jamie Heaslip will not be lacking support.
