Prop is no stranger to silverware but will be using last year's final defeat as inspiration against Northampton

Leinster have not won the Champions Cup since 2018, which is the sort of fact to send those of a certain age scurrying to the record books to see if it can really be true. Turns out it can.

No doubt this awkward truth will be brandished in their changing room at Croke Park on Saturday, when Leinster's latest tilt at the title will continue with their semi-final against Northampton. The only other time Leinster have played on Ireland's hallowed turf was for their semi-final against Munster in 2009, a win that might be said to have launched their dynasty.
