Reddan wary of French threat

MANY a stat has been trotted out to highlight Leinster’s run of exemplary form but most notable is the fact that, with the Six Nations looming, their Irish internationals have yet to taste defeat on provincial duty this season.

Their place in the knockout stages of Europe is already assured with the round six home tie against Montpellier to come on Saturday and they will say adieu to their internationals yet again next week from their perch atop the RaboDirect Pro12 league.

And yet caveats linger.
