In a week when the province are having to contend with a plethora of international absentees, Leinster assistant coach Robin McBryde admitted it is a timely boost to have Dan Sheehan back and available for selection.

Despite being out of action since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during the first test of their summer tour in South Africa on July 6 of last year, Sheehan was one of 23 Leinster players named by interim head coach Simon Easterby in Ireland’s squad for the forthcoming Six Nations Championship - 24 if you include development player Hugh Cooney.
