Dempsey: Leinster still in cup contention

LEINSTER full back Girvan Dempsey insists the province remain in contention for the knock-out stages of the Heineken Cup.

Michael Cheika’s outfit are five points clear at the top of the Magners League following their 26-15 weekend victory over the Ospreys but in the Heineken Cup they are a team whose destiny lies with the others in Pool 6 — Toulouse, Leicester Tigers and Edinburgh.

Table toppers and treble champions Toulouse have 14 points while Leicester (9) are one clear of Leinster (8).
