Leinster’s Rainbow Cup campaign may be all over bar the shouting but it will be a welcome noise that greets them when supporters return to the RDS for their final game of the season against Dragons on Friday night.

Defeat at Glasgow Warriors on Friday night ended the PRO14 champions’ chances of making a second final this season but versatile back Jimmy O’Brien believes playing in front of supporters for the first time in 16 months will provide Leinster with plenty of motivation to end 2020-21 on a high.
