The competition for a spot in Leinster's backline has intensified with the signing of Jordie Barrett, who has versatility across multiple positions. With Jordan Larmour's return from injury, the depth in Leinster's backline has significantly increased, making it a challenging but exciting time for players and fans alike.
THE COMPETITION FOR a spot in Leinster ’s backline has just gone up a notch with the arrival of Jordie Barrett , although it remains to be seen exactly how they use him.
“I feel like my game is in a good spot,” said Larmour. “Obviously, a bit frustrating getting that injury, it set me back a couple of weeks. One reason that Larmour feels he has been enjoying his rugby so much is the influence of Jacques Nienaber since the South African defence specialist joined after the 2023 World Cup.
“The things he shows us in the meetings, we’re always going into games really well prepped. What you’ve done throughout the week, you back yourself, you just back yourself for what you’ve done. Sometimes you get it wrong, look at the review, see what you can do better but look we’ll always back ourselves in defence.”
