After the disappointment of the last couple of years, it is clear that Leinster will be desperate to get their hands on some silverware over the coming weeks.
The province have positioned themselves to make a run in both the URC and Champions Cup over the remainder of the season. Not only do they sit top of the URC, but they are facing into a home semi-final against Northampton in European competition.
At the moment, they are favourites to win both trophies.
Their recent form has been incredibly impressive (the loss to Lions with a second string team aside), with one emerging young player in particular catching the eye of Gordon D'Arcy.

Gordon D'Arcy makes huge prediction about Leinster starlet
Gordon D'Arcy knows what it takes to be a world class centre, with the former Ireland star having been hugely impressed with Jamie Osborne in recent weeks.
The 22-year old has established himself as a key operator at Leinster this season, especially in the last few weeks.
Speaking to RTÉ, Gordon D'Arcy said that Garry Ringrose could find it difficult to dislodge the youngster from the side when he makes his return to injury. He also made a huge prediction as to what Osborne could become over the next couple of years.
At the moment I would pick Jamie Osborne and Robbie Henshaw (at centre).
That might seem a little harsh on Garry Ringrose, and it is, but there’s nothing to suggest that you would split them up at the moment...
There’s a lot to be excited about Jamie Osborne, he brings something that not every player in the Irish outside backs have, a little air of unpredictability.
In 12 to 24 months time we will be talking about him as one of the top rugby players in the world.
He is just an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, his decision-making with ball in hand, he’s 6ft [3], you can’t coach a guy to be big.
When you have a player like that who has all the skillsets...rugby is simply, you catch the ball, you either pass, kick or run and he has all of that ability on the ball.
As the next 12 months roll through, we will see him pushing for a [regular] starting place with Leinster and probably into the national team.
Jamie Osborne was included in Ireland's provisional squad for this year's Six Nations, although he did not make an appearance in the tournament. He has yet to be capped at test level.
His form in recent times could well force him into Andy Farrell's plans for the tour to South Africa this summer. While that may come slightly too soon for him, it is clear that Gordon D'Arcy fancies the Leinster man to go right to the very top of the game.
