O’Connor: High stakes will lift Leinster

Although Richardt Strauss and Luke Fitzgerald are out, Leinster don’t have serious injury worries for tomorrow’s RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final clash with Ulster at the RDS.

Skipper Leo Cullen is ready to go, alongside Eoin Reddan, Jamie Heaslip and Brian O’Driscoll, according to head coach Matt O’Connor, and his focus now is on the opposition and the occasion, with a trophy to play for.

“The guys have worked hard all year to get to this point. The stakes are high and they know you don’t get another chance if you get it wrong.
