Shortly after Leinster lifted the URC trophy in the middle of Croke Park and completed their lap of honour, the players made their way up the Hogan Stand steps for a more traditional trophy lift at GAA HQ.
Following in the footsteps of many legendary hurlers and footballers that had gone before him, Jack Conan made history by becoming the first victorious rugby captain to lead his side up the hallowed steps.
