The 51-year-old has a little bit of business to finish this weekend with South Africa before he moves to Dublin to begin a new stage of his career with Leo Cullen's Blues
In a few days Jacques Nienaber will make the transition from World Cup winning coach - possibly a back to back winning coach - to Leinster.
"He's a World Cup winner and it will be interesting to see his take on things and how he sees the game, especially on that defensive side of the ball. The academy prop was clearly intent on making an impression in the opening round defeat to Glasgow Warriors last Sunday. His hunger for involvement earned him a try as a reward."I was trying to bring my own uniqueness to the game and try to show a bit of why I have. It was a tough test, they're a big, physical side. It wasn't the result we were looking for but it was good.
"It was obviously a step up against a number of internationals but I really enjoyed it overall. It wasn't the result we were hoping for and hopefully we can right a few wrongs this weekend. But it was a nice first run-out." "I feel like I've a bit to offer ball carrying-wise and thankfully I got a few opportunities at the weekend but I would have liked to have made those a bit more impactful," said the loosehead.
