Leinster out to pack a punch

Last time these sides met in the RaboDirect Pro12 the Leinster scrum was left in a heap.

The destruction of the set piece was so emphatic that Ulster’s thirst for Heineken Cup final revenge may have been sated for a few hours that night.

Three months on and that feeling has dissipated. Leinster were creaking, their Heineken Cup failure stands testament to that. Now it is Leinster craving atonement and the scrum is where they have been concentrating on all week.
