Furlong had to dig deep, like so many Leinster players, in the face of a fierce effort from Racing 92. Leinster trailed for most of the game and yet did what they needed to do in the closing stages to secure a 15-12 win.

It's an amazing feeling."Furlong and his teammates definitely enjoyed their victory and were straight on a bus to Bilbao Airport after drinking their dressing room dry of tiny cans of Heineken and San Miguel.

Ex-England star in frame for Ireland squad after superb Munster debut
A quality signing it seems! The signing of Kieran Brookes was met with scepticism by some Munster supporters, earlier this year; and, indeed, the signing of a 36-year-old, who hadn’t played international rugby since 2016 – bar an appearance for the Barbarians – didn’t seem on par with the signing of hooker, and South Africa […]
