Leinster making Schmidt ‘nervous’

Leinster 22 Edinburgh 16

Joe Schmidt’s Leinster side have never had it so good at the foothills of a season since his arrival from Clermont Auvergne but there were few smiles or slaps on the back after this third straight victory on Saturday evening.

Kevin McLaughlin sat stony-faced in the press room afterwards, lamenting the shortcomings and his coach was similarly inclined as the European champions prepare to digest the main meat of this nascent campaign.
