Leinster star Jamison Gibson-Park is anticipating threats from right across the pitch when the eastern province take on Connacht in the United Rugby Championship at the RDS on New Year’s Day (kick-off 7.35pm).

Having already achieved doubles over Munster and Ulster, Leo Cullen’s men will be aiming to make it a clean sweep of interprovincial wins in the regular part of this season’s URC on Sunday. When the two sides met on a dreary night in Galway back on October 14, an early converted try from Gibson-Park’s scrum-half rival Cormac Foley propelled Leinster towards a hard-earned 10-0 triumph.
