Harlequins prepare for ‘war’ in crunch clash with Leinster

Conor O’Shea has told his Harlequins to prepare themselves for ‘war’ as they face Leinster in another crucial European encounter on Saturday.

Harlequins recorded a bruising 24-18 victory over Matt O’Connor’s side last Sunday at the Twickenham Stoop, an encounter which has forced England captain Chris Robshaw and fly-half Nick Evans out of this weekend’s fixture.

And as O’Shea rallies his team together for the trip to Dublin, the Quins director of rugby confesses he is expecting more of the same when the two teams clash at the Aviva Stadium.
