History against Leinster in bid to bounce back

GLASGOW be warned; Leinster will desperately want to bounce back from Wednesday’s shock Magners League defeat to Connacht win a win at Firhill tonight.

But the record books wouldn’t fill Michael Cheika with confidence. The last seven encounters between the teams have all been won by side with home advantage. Leinster’s last success in these parts came with an 18-21 win in the competition almost four years ago.

And there’s more statistics pointing towards a potential defeat for the visitors. Glasgow have only lost once in their last seven encounters in the city and they bid for a clean sweep of home wins against Irish opponents this season.
