Home comforts now Leinster’s priority

QUALIFICATION already secured, Leinster travel to Paris this week intent on taking care of the last vestiges of unfinished business in Pool Two of the Heineken Cup — securing a home berth for the quarter-finals.

A win, of any description, will suffice.

Joe Schmidt will have the comfort of being able to send his troops out into the historic old Stade Yves Du Manoir against Racing Metro 92 without any permutations or contingency plans ringing in their ears.
