Felipe Contepomi has given his backing to Leinster and Ireland’s youngest out-half, Harry Byrne, as the 22-year old goes about living up to the great expectations foisted upon him.

Talked up as a possible contender to Johnny Sexton’s throne, Byrne has been beset by injuries at inopportune times all too often but now has two test caps to his name after being afforded cameos this year against the USA and Argentina.
