Leinster's Jamie Osborne Returns Training Before Sharks URC Clash

Jamie Osborne has returned to full training with Leinster after recovering from a minor hamstring injury and is expected to be available for their upcoming United Rugby Championship match against the Sharks at Aviva Stadium. Osborne, a versatile back who can play full-back, centre, or wing, had missed Leinster's recent defeats on their South African tour but has been a key player for Ireland and was called up to the British and Irish Lions as injury cover over the summer. Despite Osborne's return, Leinster coach Leo Cullen confirmed that several other key players, including Jordan Larmour, Cormac Foley, Caelan Doris, Joe McCarthy, and Hugo Keenan, remain sidelined with injuries and no updates were provided on their expected return dates. Leinster is seeking its first win of the season after consecutive losses to the Stormers and Bulls, while the Sharks are also chasing their first victory following a loss to Glasgow and a draw with the Dragons. The return of Osborne offers a timely boost to the Irish side as they prepare to face South African opposition for the third consecutive week in the URC. Leinster aims to reset their campaign and improve on their winless start, with Osborne's availability a positive development amid ongoing injury concerns within the squad.
