Leinster’s Lions on prowl in Glasgow

LIONS duo Brian O’Driscoll and Gordon D’Arcy will form the centre partnership for Leinster in their Celtic Cup quarter-final clash with Glasgow on Friday night, (Lansdowne Road, 7.30pm).

Last year the hosts were eliminated at this stage on try count following a 23-all draw at Ulster after extra time, whilst Glasgow beat Munster 18-14 in the last eight before succumbing at home to eventual winners Ulster.

Despite the departure of coach Declan Kidney, the hosts are favourites having won their final three matches of their Celtic League campaign, and wining all five matches played at Lansdowne Road in the competition.
