Felipe Contepomi is confident that Tadhg Furlong will remain a Leinster player beyond the summer of 2022.

It was revealed yesterday that the Wexford tighthead had signed a new deal with the province and the IRFU but only for one more year and that will see his latest contract expire more than a year out from the 2023 World Cup.
