WHEN MAX DEEGAN was first breaking through with Leinster back in 2017, he had a reputation as a rangy number eight with a classy skillset.He usually wears the number six shirt now and while his athleticism is a standout feature of his play on the ball and in defence, Deegan’s leaping ability and reading of the lineout have become key strengths.

Yeah, really enjoying it, it’s nice to come up with a few big steals and give us some attacking ball.” Deegan started that victory, his sixth appearance in their seven games so far. Leinster have notched seven wins with six try-scoring bonus points in a steely start to their bid to end a run of trophyless seasons.
