Ronan Loughney looks forward to the New Years Day clash with Leinster.

The Galway native former Ireland U18, U19 & U21 prop forward has played most of his rugby at loosehead but has been excelling at tighthead this season. 27 year old Loughney, who is just 6 caps short of 100 for the Province, has been looking forward to the inter-pro clash with Leinster:

“We recognise that every game is an opportunity to put this losing streak behind us so we’re all looking forward to the game.

Were a tight squad, we recognise that were in this together and the only way we’ll get out of this is by working together. We’re doing a lot of good stuff and we know that in all the games we’ve let slip we just need to get the small things right to make the difference.

We believe in the game plan that we put in place for games, we believe in what we’re doing and it’s those small things that we need to get right, cut out the small errors and that’ll be the difference between getting over the line and then getting the win.
