Boss says Scarlets a must win game

Saturday’s pool five fixture in Parc Y Scarlets may be absolutely vital for the home side but Isaac Boss admits Leinster will be travelling to Wales with a similar mindset.

The Welsh region, which went down to a heavy defeat to Clermont Auvergne in France last weekend, will need little reminding that no side has made the last eight of the Heineken Cup after losing their opening two rounds.

Leinster’s needs are not quite as stark after their three-point defeat of Exeter Chiefs at the RDS yet the champions are desperate to hit top gear after another less than stellar showing.
