O’Kelly expecting tougher Bourgoin challenge

TWELVE months ago Leinster came within eight points of racking up a ton against Bourgoin in Dublin, but Malcolm O’Kelly would settle for a win of any description in tomorrow’s Heineken Cup Pool Five match at the RDS.

Last December Bourgoin pitched up at Lansdowne Road with their European ambitions already shredded and an unmotivated, second-string side were duly humiliated 92-17.

Six days later, Leinster made the return journey to the Stade Pierre de Rajon and, though they expected a tougher assignment, they had no inkling of the buffeting they were in for.
