Things are going pretty good for Leinster at the moment.
The eastern province are looking forward to an exciting semi-final against Clermont Auvergne in just under three weeks time.
They are also sitting pretty at the top of the PRO 12 table so the possibility of winning the double this season remains strong.
Their only losses in the league have all come away from home – against Glasgow Warriors, Scarlets and Munster.
Since that Munster defeat in December, Leo Cullen’s side have remained undefeated.
One of the main reasons for this incredible form and the successful season on a whole has been due to the emergence of some incredible young talent at the club.
Leinster look to have recognised this and today have announced a large number of contract renewals.
Fans of Leo Cullen’s side will be delighted that some of the best young players at the club will be remaining at the UCD base for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the already announced central contracts for Jamie Heaslip and Devin Toner, the list below contains 13 additional players who have received renewals to their contracts.
