Past a different country for Jacques Nienaber as Leinster focus on URC ambitions

Leinster. Jeez, where do you start? This was always going to be a jam-packed week with a URC game against Connacht coming just six days after that crushing Champions Cup final defeat to Toulouse in London last Saturday, but the in-tray is already overflowing.

Rhys Ruddock announced on Tuesday that he will be bringing a 15-year career to an end in the coming weeks, Jacques Nienaber has confirmed that the province is still negotiating with Connacht over a possible loan move for Sam Prendergast, while Jason Jenkins is out this week with a knee injury and Garry Ringrose is still striving to get fit.
