'You don't know when your last game is going to be'

Andrew Porter played 80 minutes against Munster on 26 December and another half-hour on Sunday. He played 10 of 13 games for Leinster this season and two of Ireland's Autumn Nations Series games. Porter is grateful to play rugby and he will never get tired of it. James Tracy retired from the game before Christmas. The loosehead prop will have big ambitions in 2023. Leinsster play again this spring before the World Cup in September. They play against Saracens and Munsters. The World cup takes place in England in 2018. It's a long year of rugby. Andrew Porter wants to focus on the present.
