It was widely reported a number of weeks ago that Leo Cullen set to stay in his current position and Leinster Rugby CEO Shane Nolan has acknowledged he is pleased to tie his head coach to another two-year deal at the eastern province.

Whereas the Wicklow native largely operated under rolling one-year contracts across the opening eight seasons he was in charge of the team, Nolan offered him an extended deal in the spring of 2023 that would run to the end of the current campaign.
