Dirksen excited to take on “world class” Leinster

Twenty-one-year-old Ospreys winger Hanno Dirksen is relishing the challenge of locking horns with European champions Leinster in Sunday’s RaboDirect PRO12 final at the RDS (4pm).

Most of Dirksen’s appearances this season came as a replacement but injuries to Tommy Bowe and Nikki Walker opened up a position in Steve Handy’s starting XV and Dirksen has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.
