Leinster star Jack McGrath happy to be back in blue

Over the past two seasons, Leinster prop Jack McGrath had made a rapid progression on both club and international stages.

After making his debut almost five years ago against Glasgow Warriors, McGrath had to wait until October 2013 for his first top-tier European appearance, but he has featured regularly for the province under the guidance of Matt O’Connor.

He started four of Ireland games in their successful Six Nations defence, but having made way for Cian Healy in the concluding fixture against Scotland, he was restricted to a 20-minute appearance in Leinster’s Champions Cup victory over Bath last weekend.
