“Then my wife woke me up in the middle of the night and said she thought someone had been in the house.
“I went downstairs, my work laptop, passport and wallet had all been robbed out of our living room.”
The former Ireland international has also made a plea for sports fans to keep an eye open for his possessions.
“If anyone finds a Leinster laptop bag, with a laptop in it with all my notes and my passport, I'd love to find it again please!
“I was scrambling around last week, by the end of the game in Zebre I was very relieved, firstly that I was there, and secondly, that we got a bonus point win even if it was tight in the end.
“It was a strange week, but we're through it now, and it's just looking on to the next challenge for our lads.
“We've got five points, it wasn't perfect last week, but we need to be a hell of a lot better if we want to progress and make the end of the season, the games we want to be involved in, which is the playoffs.”
