LEINSTER HAVE ANNOUNCED the winner of their ‘Bring a Fan Home’ competition.

The competition, which sees a fan receive two return flights to Dublin from anywhere in the world, VIP tickets to the Heineken Cup game with Northampton Saints on 14 December and €1,000 spending money, closed this afternoon after entrants were invited to send in reasons why they are the biggest Leinster supporter living abroad.

And John Smith, a Dublin native currently living in Toronto whose video we posted earlier today, has been named as the lucky winner this afternoon.

Check out his successful entry:
