Champions Cup final: How Jamie Osborne has grown into a big player for LeinsterAt Irish Under-20 level, he was a fullback but Osborne has a catholic appetite for the back positions and has been more than a snug fit in the centre alongside Henshaw for the last raft of knock-out Leinster matches. He started against Leicester in the round of 16, again against La Rochelle in the quarter-final and in the semi-final against Northampton.
Decision-making, poise, reading of the game and temperament, along with the other ingredients that make up rugby IQ, often determine how far players can go. Talent is never enough. “Automatically when he came down training, he picked up things instantly,” said Murphy. “He’s one of those players where you don’t think he’s travelling that fast but he just glides across the ground, covers so much ground.
Osborne made his Leinster debut in 2021 at age 19 against Scarlets. His lineage goes through the club system in Naas, not the schools, while one of his four younger brothers, Andrew, is also a talent and currently in the Leinster academy.
