Versatile and speedy, O'Brien has moved up the ranks and earned his place in the squad as a reliable option across the backs.

He featured in four different positions for Leinster in his 18 games for the province last season, which included starts in the Champions Cup semi-final and final.

The Kildare man, who scored his first Ireland try against Samoa in the World Cup warm-up, was part of the Ireland Sevens team in 2017/18.
