Professional athletes are acutely aware of the importance that diet plays in their preparation these days and it turns out that Leinster Rugby have a few budding Jamie Olivers in their ranks.

JOE.ie teamed up with Leinster Rugby and Optimum Nutrition for a new series we’ve dubbed ‘Scrum Dine with Me’ and in the first episode, the cooking skills of Leinster and Ireland second row Devin Toner came under the microscope.

Big Dev cooked up a garlic and prawn bruschetta for Rob and Kevin and set the bar pretty high it has to be said.

Keep a close eye out for his textbook chopping technique.

Kevin and Rob will both have their turn in the coming weeks but for now, check out how Devin got on and how his dish went down with his esteemed guests.
