Leinster pack vow to even score at Aviva

Rhys Ruddock has admitted the Leinster pack "let itself down" last weekend and that it is on a mission to redeem itself when they lock horns with Harlequins again, at the Aviva Stadium, on Saturday.

Head coach Matt O’Connor had bigged up his forward unit in the run-up to the game at The Stoop — and well he might have, given it contained eight Ireland internationals — but the performance on the day was disappointing.

Leinster were penalised on numerous occasions by French referee Jerome Garces at the scrum and came second best in open play as Harlequins sought to dominate the breakdown.
