IN THE FIVE years that have followed his senior debut for Leinster, Ronan Kelleher has accumulated a healthy list of team honours in professional rugby.
Although he missed out on the decisive games through injury, he also played a part in Ireland’s Grand Slam triumph in 2023 as well as their march to a Triple Crown 12 months earlier. “A lot of us haven’t won in Europe, and it has been obviously a few years now since we won the URC. We know there is a lot of unfinished business here, so everyone is champing at the bit to get back in,” Kelleher said.
Even though Ireland’s remaining provinces have gone through much longer barren spells in recent times , Kelleher believes the disappointment at not having won a major trophy in the past two years is testament to the standards that have been set by Leinster squads in the past. It shows the health of Irish rugby that there was an air of disappointment that it wasn’t back-to-back Grand Slams, but that’s only a positive thing. We’re obviously in a very good place.” Having sat out last weekend’s win away to Zebre in the aftermath of that eventful Six Nations odyssey, Kelleher is expected to feature in a top-of-the-table URC clash against The Bulls at the RDS tomorrow evening .
