Dan Leavy

[Morf]

I've never seen single leg counter movement jump used as a performance metric so unsure what the 32 ish cm equates to rather than relative progression.

I'd imagine it's a make shift test where more appropriate equipment is unavailable.

If it's purely ACL you'd take more interest in the ability to land/change direction than just produce upward force though.

Leavys injury was most of the knee joint ligaments, so upward force is important overall.

Secondly, a lot of the benefit of this is actually knee stabilisation upon landing on the one injured leg

Lancaster on Leavy

"Last week he completed his first full week of training and I thought it was excellent. You could certainly see the old Dan Leavy in training and we've just finished a game today, he's been very, very competitive in today's training session," said Lancaster.

"Other than playing a game, he's done everything force our hand. Whether he makes the step this week or in the next few weeks, that's to be decided but we're very, very pleased to have him back training and he'll definitely figure for us in the near future, that's for sure."

"It's remarkable really when you consider the complexity of the injury and the number of different operations he had to have, almost like in a sequential order, in order to get back," added Lancaster.

"So credit goes to everyone, from the surgeons who performed those [operations] and the way in which they did those to the medical team here at Leinster and how diligent they were with Dan's recovery from each operation that allowed him to make progress to the next stage.

"Also to Dan himself and the diligence he showed to make sure he came back. It's phenomenal really, you look to see is he limping, is he struggling after training sessions. Is he less agile, is he slower? I see none of those things.

"He looks like the player that was there before he received the injury which is incredible really."

I’m so excited to see him back and if he comes back like old that will be nothing short of remarkable

I’d be happy to give them a fiver to stream this. They need the money and I need an excuse to wear a Leinster jersey and shout at a screen!
