PIC: Tongue piercing aside, Jamie Heaslip has not changed much since his 2005 Leinster debut

199 Leinster games, 191 starts. A bounty of trophies and medals in between.

Jamie Heaslip is set for his 200th Leinster appearance, against Ulster, on Friday night. The forward, born in Israel but raised in Kildare, had his first senior run out, as a professional with Leinster, in early 2005. Later that year, he made his first league starts against Ospreys and Connacht. He has gone on to become a centre-piece of a Leinster team that has won three leagues, three Heineken Cups and a Challenge Cup. https://instagram.com/p/10ljtgD_0w/?taken-by=jamieheaslip Our personal favourite, not stuck up on Instagram by Heaslip, are these two: We miss the piercing.
