A return to Leinster for Seán O'Brien?

Celebrated Irish loose-forward Sean O’Brien could find himself back in the mix at his old club Leinster in the near future as the latter look to fill the void which will be left by Denis Leamy, who looks to be moving to Munster. 

O’Brien, who at the moment plies his trade with London Irish in the Premiership, recently announced his retirement from the game at the conclusion of the current season and Leinster management have expressed an interest in utilising the 35 year-old's knowledge and experience as they seek to replace Leamy. 

However, reports indicate that the Exiles may also be interested in retaining O’Brien in a coaching capacity once he hangs up his boots. 

A return to Leinster for O’brien would be a welcome development by fans as the “Tullow Tank” turned out for the province a total of 126 times between 2008 and 2019 when he joined the Premiership.
