While he tried not to make a big deal out of it in the lead up to the game, veteran prop Cian Healy acknowledged he had ‘a great feeling of pride’ after becoming Leinster’s most capped player of all time at the Aviva Stadium last Friday.

Previously tied with his former team-mate Devin Toner after appearing off the bench in their opening round win away to Edinburgh, Healy made a record-breaking 281st appearance (as a starter on this occasion) in a 34-6 bonus point victory over Dragons in the United Rugby Championship at Irish Rugby HQ.
