LEINSTER coach Michael Cheika was delighted with a crucial Magners League victory to keep his side top of the table, but perturbed at a flawed first quarter at the RDS on Saturday night.

THERE are a few permutations to juggle with as the chase for the Magners League title takes the bell this weekend, but the bottom line is simple: win with a bonus point in Cardiff tonight and Leinster will be champions.

Cardiff Blues have made four changes from last weekend with half-backs Dean Dewdney and Nick McLeod given the responsibility of applying some control to their back play at home to Connacht.
