Robin McBryde knows what’s coming for Leinster in Welford Road this Friday, and he couldn’t be happier about it.

It’s 24 years since the Leinster forwards coach was part of a Llanelli side that pushed a Leicester Tigers side beginning its Heineken Cup defence all the way in a dog of a pool opener in the English midlands.
