Leinster have the experience to get the job done

It’s just less than three years since Leinster last pitched up at Parc Y Scarlets on Heineken Cup duty, and how they would love a repeat today of a performance that coughed up all five points.

The visitors played some sublime rugby that day and earned the bonus point courtesy of their four tries, but it was a performance built first and foremost on a granite defence and aggressive intent up front.

Though a December fixture, Leinster’s form at the time had been mixed which bears further comparison to their well-being right now and this latest performance will be picked clean by the critics after their lucky escape against Exeter Chiefs seven days ago.
