FOLLOWING WHAT is expected to be the first of many outings for his player as a team captain at the Aviva Stadium in the coming weeks, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen said on Saturday that Caelan Doris is “making great progress as a leader”.
This game took place just three days after Doris was announced as Ireland’s captain ahead of their four-game Autumn Nations Series at the same venue in November. “He is very curious, naturally. Works on all aspects of his game, has a very positive influence on the group as well. He has been excellent, I have to say. You can see it in his performances, he is enjoying it. He is bringing everybody with him as well I think, which is good to see.
This competition will now take an extended break with Leinster not set to be in league action again until their visit to Ulster and Kingspan Stadium on Friday, 29 November — a game that will be held the night before Ireland’s final autumn test against Australia in the Aviva.
