Leinster quality should see off battling Glasgow

THERE is rarely anything ho-hum about the Heineken Cup but Leinster have come close to reducing Pool 3 to a predictable script and they will be expected to wrap up qualification for the last eight in Glasgow tomorrow.

Breathtaking at home, they have admittedly had to roll up their sleeves in Montpellier and Bath and Joe Schmidt’s men will clock in for another tricky shift at Firhill, on a narrow pitch, against a side seeking to join them in the open prairies of the knockout stages.

There is nothing to suggest the champions won’t seal another win in Scotland, however. Their form has been superb, their performances good without being great, which should do more than anything to keep complacency from the door.
