Doris aims to ‘own the jersey’ with back-to-back PRO14 games

Leinster are calling this block of Guinness PRO14 games ‘Own the Jersey’ – and Caelan Doris intends to do so with the No 8 shirt.

With Jack Conan back from the World Cup and likely to miss the rest of this calendar year with a foot fracture, the opportunity has come for Doris to stake his claim for that jersey. The former U20 backrow has been highly rated by the province for a long time, and now – starting with tonight’s game against Ospreys at the RDS – the Mayo man has a chance to prove his worth.
