They’re putting the band back together
The rumours have been brewing for some time but now it seems that Ica Nacewa is returning to Leinster on a one-year contract.
Though the move has yet to be officially announced, TV3 Rugby are reporting that the full-back has re-signed and will be part of Matt O’Connor’s squad next season.

Ian Madigan spoke to SportsJOE earlier this week and revealed his excitement at what was then the potential return of the 32-year-old.
‘I don’t know if he is coming back but we would certainly be delighted to have him. He is 32 and his best years are ahead of him. I have kept in touch with him, in New Zealand. I know he is still in great shape. Leinster is the only club he would play for, if he did make a return to the game. If he did come back, it would be a fantastic signing for the club.’
Brian O’Driscoll was quick off the mark to welcome Nacewa back to Leinster.
Isa, Isa, Isa…

And with Johnny Sexton also set to return next season Leinster are going to have more than a look of the side that dominated Europe under Joe Schmidt.
