MURRAYFIELD isn’t where they would have chosen to meet their destiny – they’ve had too many unnerving moments at Scottish headquarters for their liking – but it’s the stadium in which Leinster intend to put their many demons to rest in this evening’s Heineken Cup final against Leicester.

LEINSTER scrum-half Chris Whitaker wants to make a winning departure from the province with this weekend’s Heineken Cup final, and he backs fellow Australian Rocky Elsom to make a significant contribution to the Irish side’s chances of beating Leicester this weekend in Edinburgh.

LEINSTER coach Michael Cheika is a straight-talking Aussie who would evidently lose it if he suspected even a scintilla of complacency in the camp ahead of Saturday’s final of the Heineken Cup at Murrayfield.
