JAMIE OSBORNE HAS returned to training with Leinster after a minor hamstring injury and will be available for selection for the province’s first home game of the season against the Sharks at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday (5:30pm).
After back-to-back defeats to the Stormers and the Bulls in South Africa, Leinster will face a side also chasing their first URC win of the new campaign.
John Plumtree’s Sharks, beaten semi-finalists last season, have opened their campaign with a defeat away to Glasgow and a draw at the Dragons.
Ireland international and Lions call-up Osborne, who can play across the backline, is in line to make his first appearance of the season against the Durban side.
