Wary Hines eyes Tigers test

NATHAN HINES has warned that Leinster’s Heineken Cup dreams will go up in smoke at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday if they fail to learn the lessons of their defeat to Munster in Limerick last weekend.

Joe Schmidt’s side let slip an 11-point half-time lead at Thomond Park against their fiercest rivals and, in the physical and aggressive Leicester Tigers, they face an opponent cut from a similar cloth to their provincial cousins.

“They (Leicester) do what they do, and if we’re not more accurate and effective than we were last weekend then we could end up on the end of the same result,” said the Scottish international.
