Wanted man.
Racing 92 are currently in the market for a replacement for the recently departed Siya Kolisi and it appears they have their targets set on a current Ireland international.
Kolisi recently left Racing to return to the Sharks after just one season in Paris, citing the fact that he and family missed his native South Africa, with the Springboks captain failing to settle in France.
And now according to RugbyPass, Racing are eyeing up Leinster and Ireland back-row Jack Conan as a potential replacement for Kolisi.
Conan is a key player for Leinster, captaining them in their opening two URC games, but has struggled for a starting berth in the Ireland team in recent seasons. He has largely played second-fiddle to Caelan Doris who looks to have cemented his spot for Ireland, captaining them in their win over South Africa this summer,.
The British and Irish Lion turned 32 in July and Leinster may have a battle on their hands to retain his services.
