Dempsey: Leinster relishing Twickenham clash

GIRVAN DEMPSEY believes he and his Leinster colleagues will benefit from playing Saturday’s must-win Heineken Cup clash with Wasps at Twickenham.

Dempsey was one of the five Leinster players who featured in Ireland’s 28-24 victory over England in the Six Nations clash at the famous London ground in 2006 and the Irish province supplied a third of the national team two years later for the corresponding match.

Wasps trail Leinster by three points in the chase for an automatic last eight place as the group winners with the “Battle of the Capitals” set to have a major say in deciding the pool.
