The 22 year-old has made two Leinster appearances to date, both as a sub, but was a regular right-winger on the 2021/22 Ireland U20s
Leinster will look to select an almost full-strength side for Saturday's clash with Munster at Croke Park although there are two positions, hooker and right-wing, where they face disruption.
READ MORE: Munster boss Graham Rowntree addresses injury worries as Peter O'Mahony added to casualty listAs far as the front-row goes Ireland prop Andrew Porter says both alternative squad hookers Lee Barron and Gus McCarthy have proven their worth in the senior team already. "They have been given great opportunities in the past and they have done incredibly well with them. Gus is quite young, Lee isn’t too far ahead of him in terms of age either. They have come on in leaps and bounds from first coming on the scene.
There is the option to switch a centre to the right-wing and while most might think Garry Ringrose it should be noted he hasn't started a game on either wing for Leinster since October 2015. He has never been selected on the wing for Ireland. Liam Turner who has made 22 starts albeit only two of those have been on the wing, against Stormers in April 2024, Cardiff in February 2023 and Connacht in October 2022.
"Aitzol is an incredible athlete, I have to tell him to chill out a few times because he's always going 100 miles an hour. Great athlete, physically he's in great shape, runs like the wind.
