Schmidt relief as Leinster recover to snatch draw in Glasgow

Winning has almost become a habit for Leinster in the RaboDirect Pro 12 league this season but on Saturday they were given a reminder that past form does not guarantee success.

However Leinster coach Joe Schmidt can feel reasonably happy his side came away from Glasgow’s Firhill stadium with two points after trailing 10-0 going into the last quarter, with Isa Nacewa on a yellow card.

“To come back and grab a draw in the circumstances of being down to 14 men, in these conditions was terrific,” admitted Schmidt.
