The 27-year-old wing, who has 32 Ireland caps, has been restricted to just five appearances this season, the last of which came against Munster on 27 has also endured an injury-plagued campaign. The 32-year-old has only managed eight appearances for Leinster while calf and hamstring issues restricted him to just one substitute appearance in Ireland's Six Nations campaign. Despite his lack of game time, he was named in Andy Farrell's British and Irish Lions squad last started all three Tests in the 2017 and 2021 Lions series in New Zealand and South Africa. Leinster are top seeds in the URC play-offs after finishing the regular season top of the standings, but fell to a shock 35-22 loss to Scarlets in Llanelli last month.

Jack Draper vs Carlos Alcaraz LIVE: Italian Open latest scores from blockbuster quarter-final
Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz clash in a doozy of an Italian Open quarter-final as the British No 1 looks to take the next step on clay with a statement win. Draper came through a tricky test against the unpredictable Corentin Moutet to set up a last-eight encounter with a fellow top-five player in Rome, with Alcaraz advancing past Karen Khachanov to reach this stage. The British left-hander is enjoying a productive clay-court swing, reaching the final of the Madrid Open earlier in May and looking in reasonable touch since arriving in the Italian capital — but this is likely to be a far sterner test. The pair are yet to meet on a surface on which the Spaniard boasts such skill, yet Draper does at least have good recent memories of their meetings on which to draw. A win at Queen's last year proved a breakthrough performance for the 23-year-old before he also felled Alcaraz on his way to the title at Indian Wells in March. Could another victory be on the cards? Draper vs Alcaraz Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz collide in a tasty quarter-final as they look to roll on at the Italian Open. Draper has climbed into the world's top five and has a solid recent record against the Spaniard, winning two of their last three meetings, including on his way to Indian Wells success earlier this year. The pair are yet to meet on clay, though, with Alcaraz possessing such prowess on the surface though he was given a fright by Karen Khachanov in his last outing. The British No 1, meanwhile, had to overcome the unorthodox Corentin Moutet, fighting back to take the last-16 match and set up this encounter in Rome. Mike Jones14 May 2025 11:15 Jack Draper vs Carlos Alcaraz LIVE A blockbuster quarter-final clash is on the cards as Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz vie for a place in the last four at the Italian Open. Two of the world's best young tennis players have forged quite the rivalry over the last year or so, with Draper's felling of the defending champion at Indian Wells still fresh in the memory - but this is a first meeting between the pair on clay, a surface on which Alcaraz has much more experience. Can the British No 1 claim a statement win in Rome? Harry Latham-Coyle14 May 2025 08:52
