After returning to the Leinster fold with a strong performance on Saturday, Ireland international Jack Conan is now primed to take on a familiar foe in the knockout rounds of the Heineken Champions Cup this weekend.

In his first outing for the province since appearing as a late replacement in a European pool stage win over Leicester Tigers at Welford Road on January 20, the Wicklow man claimed a second half try to cap a player of the match display in Leinster’s 47-14 triumph over The Bulls at the RDS in the United Rugby Championship.
