Ryan gees up Gloucester

GLOUCESTER boss Dean Ryan insists his players will be “fully motivated” for tonight’s Heineken Cup clash against Leinster — despite having already made their European exit.

The Premiership play-off contenders cannot secure quarter-final status from Pool Two, while Kingsholm visitors Leinster need a bonus point victory to guarantee a home draw after clinching top spot one week inside the distance.

Ryan will be without the services of injured trio James Simpson-Daniel, Anthony Allen and Olly Morgan — all three players suffered knocks during last Friday’s defeat in Agen — but he still a parades a line-up containing eight internationals.
