Jordan Larmour finding his way again with Leinster

If we’re being picky then his eight scores in 12 games three seasons ago was his most ‘productive’ season to date, but his latest numbers are highly encouraging for a player with a trademark sidestep and turn of pace who seemed to lose his way

Jordan Larmour doesn’t blink when told he scored more tries last season for Leinster than ever before. Not a raised eyebrow, a blow of the cheeks or hint of a smile. The stat and its significance leave no visible impression as they land.

We hear plenty about the ‘group’, how there is no ‘i’ in team when it comes to sports. That’s fine, but this is a back three player here. Their job is to be the pointy end of the spear, to do the necessary that literally gets their team over the line.
