Jackman relishing visit of Warriors

THE first Scots-Irish clash of the week may be a little out of kilter with the standard Six Nations agenda, but this re-fixed Magners League tie between first and fourth will certainly bring plenty of intrigue.

The temperature may have risen since Glasgow Warriors’ last visit was snowed off, but the calibre of player on the pitch certainly hasn’t – the visitors are without 14 members of their first-team squad as they face the league leaders.

Despite the face that Leinster are also without a host of front liners the hosts have sold 14,000 tickets at the RDS and their strength in depth is emphasised by the fact that they still have six internationals in their starting line up.
