The powerful back-rower captained Leinster on his return from a hip injury at Parc y Scarlets in the battle of the top two teams in Conference B.

A tight affair played in tough conditions was still scoreless when O’Brien was replaced by Max Deegan after 27 minutes, with the early signs pointing to a left arm or shoulder injury.
The teams went onto share the spoils, drawing 10-10.
