Girvan Dempsey: Leinster in control of destiny

Top of the league, two games to go and with a near fully fit squad: everything is falling into place for Leinster as the Guinness Pro12 season comes to a close, but Girvan Dempsey knows that it takes just one slip for their position to be badly compromised.

With Connacht and Glasgow both meeting Italian opposition on Friday night, Leinster will almost certainly find themselves relegated to third in the table by the time they kick off against Ulster in Belfast on Saturday afternoon.

Lose that and securing a vital home semi-final is a taller order.
