George Ford ready to put the boot into Leinster, warns Matt Banahan

Matt Banahan insists there will be no mental hangover for Bath’s England quartet as they return to the Aviva Stadium five weeks after their Grand Slam hopes went up in smoke.

Also, the giant wing has warned Leinster they will find it very difficult to match Ireland’s ability to keep fly-half George Ford quiet when they face Bath in Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final.

Ford, Jonathan Joseph, Anthony Watson and Dave Attwood all started in England’s 19-9 defeat to Ireland on March 1, with Ford coming off distinctly second best to Johnny Sexton.
