Dan Sheehan Stars in Leinster's Win Over Stormers

Dan Sheehan marked his return from a seven-month ACL injury layoff by scoring two tries and leading Leinster to a 36-12 victory over the Stormers in the United Rugby Championship. Sheehan's performance, alongside that of fellow returnee James Lowe, was crucial in maintaining Leinster's unbeaten season, now standing at 14 consecutive wins. Despite missing several key players to the Irish Six Nations training camp in Portugal, Leinster capitalized on strong performances from Jordie Barrett, RG Snyman, and Rabah Slimani. The game, marked by 30 penalties, was disjointed but saw Leinster secure a bonus point win, extending their lead at the top of the URC table. Post-match, Sheehan and Lowe, along with uncapped Jack Boyle, are set to join the Ireland squad for the upcoming Six Nations. Injuries to Luke McGrath and other backs posed a challenge but did not deter Leinster's dominant performance.
