AWAY FROM SPOTLIGHT of the Six Nations, the show goes on for Leinster as they continue to strike an unrelenting balance of plugging international-sized holes with new, emerging talent while blitzing the rest of the Guinness Pro14.
Last Friday’s nine-try rout of the Southern Kings at the RDS extended the province’s lead at the top of Conference B to an unassailable 22-point buffer and Leo Cullen’s side will have focused in on a sixth straight win against the Cheetahs this week.

Just as they did during the November block, Leinster have made light of the loss of so many front-line internationals to record big wins over Zebre and the Kings, with the likes of Jack Dunne, Hugh O’Sullivan, Patrick Patterson and Ronan Kelleher the latest academy players to seize their chance.

21-year-old hooker Kelleher made his senior debut against the Kings and in doing so became the 54th player used by Cullen already this term, just one short of last season’s tally as the province stormed to a Pro14 and Champions Cup double.
The serious business is still a while away yet but Leinster are already in incredibly strong shape in both competitions, knowing a bonus-point win under Friday night lights at the RDS would be their fifth in their last six outings.
While they have all but assured themselves of a home semi-final in the Pro14 given their lead over second-placed Benetton with just five regular season rounds remaining, there are still so many fascinating subplots to follow each time Leinster take to the field.
The prospect of young, home-grown players coming through a revered system and graduating to make senior honours is an exciting one and will never get old for the RDS faithful, who will arrive in anticipation again on Friday night.
O’Sullivan was outstanding on the occasion of his 10th senior appearance against the Kings before former Blackrock College nine Patterson wasted little time in making his mark on his first RDS appearance, scoring a late try to embellish his night to remember.
Further opportunities are likely to be on offer in round 17 as the defending champions bid to finish off this three-game block in style, maintaining that winning momentum into their trip to Edinburgh after the Six Nations and then the Champions Cup quarter-final date with Ulster at the end of next month.
Among those training with Cullen’s squad yesterday were Ireland U20s stars Harry Byrne — who is awaiting his first senior cap — and Scott Penny, the flanker having made a real impression in his four Pro14 appearances in blue to date.
Even without 15 players to Joe Schmidt’s Ireland, and the injuries to other experienced members of the squad such as Joe Tomane and Dave Kearney, Leinster’s unrivalled reservoir of talent ensures there is absolutely no let-up on any given week.
The back row unit of Josh Murphy, Max Deegan and Caelan Doris were outstanding against the Kings. As was man of the match Ed Byrne and Ross Byrne in pulling the strings. Not to mention Conor O’Brien in midfield.
“There are many young players and they have had the opportunity to go out and perform,” backs coach Felipe Contepomi says.

“It’s a great opportunity to see some young talent and also to work with them and as a coach, you always try to give something to the player for them to improve.
