Leinster brace for impact

It’s been a week of plaudits for Jamie Heaslip after his display against Wasps last Sunday, and rightly so, but the Leinster skipper’s individual efforts overshadowed one of the more important inputs by the collective.

Leinster took on a side that had destroyed a highly-regarded Bath scrum a week before without their starting loosehead (Cian Healy) and their first-choice (Mike Ross) and second-choice (Martin Moore) tightheads.

Yet, they survived, and more.
