Despite the strong position his team finds itself in, Leinster back-row Jack Conan admits the 2022/23 season has been a frustrating one thus far from an individual perspective.

While the Wicklow man has started four games for the Blues across the United Rugby Championship and the Heineken Champions Cup, he was restricted to cameo appearances off the bench in their brace of triumphs over arch rivals Munster in the former. He also had to be content with a 16-minute run-out against Racing 92 in Europe with Caelan Doris the preferred choice at No 8.
