And he hasn’t even caught a big inter-provincial of European night at Thomond Park yet.
Those that have been lucky enough to run out at Thomond Park on the day of a big game will tell you how special it feels; how that surging sensation never leaves you; how it empowers you.
Back when you could climb a fence to catch a glimpse all the way up to today, when you pay for the privilege, Munster’s spiritual home has been graced with an air of majesty. Giants played here. Memories were made that still bring a sparkle to the eye when recalled.
It looks brighter now – more polished – but it still takes a good, honest effort to get over that line.
Jean Kleyn got his first taste of Thomond Park last Saturday but he is itching for more. The South African lock is currently out of action after injuring his ankle in that win over Edinburgh.
After his first Munster appearance, away to Scarlets, the joy of making a positive impact was clear to see.

Kleyn scored a try on his home debut but picked up the injury the week after.
Saturday’s game went on for over two hours after several hold-ups for injuries, treatments and TMO reviews. Getting injured must not have helped either but Kleyn cared not a jot. He’s in love…

As just about everyone replied, wait until you see it on Saturday, October 22 when Glasgow Warriors come to Limerick.
