Cian Healy will take over the mantle as Leinster’s most capped player when he makes his 281st appearance for the province at home to the Dragons in the second round of URC ties on Friday night.

The veteran hooker matched Devin Toner’s total during last Friday’s URC-opener away to Edinburgh. The 36-year old, who also has 131 Irish caps, made his debut against the now-defunct Border Reivers at a Donnybrook home which Leinster have long outgrown.
