Scott Penny will be looking to make up for lost time if he manages to make it through a crowded field and into the Leinster back row to face Munster on Saturday.

The 21-year-old, voted the Guinness PRO14 Next-Gen Star of the Season for 2020-21, missed the PRO14 final win over Munster last month due to a hand injury, having helped Leinster reach the decider and a fourth title in a row by finishing joint-top try-scorer with nine tries from 11 appearances.
