Leinster tune up for big battles in quest for Champions Cup
Away wins in Edinburgh and now Cardiff have helped them win four of their first five matches in the Guinness PRO12 and this weekend’s derby with Munster will be the perfect dress-rehearsal for two big clashes with TOP 14 clubs, Castres Olympique and Montpellier at the start of their Pool 4 journey.
The titantic struggle with an unbeaten Cardiff Blues side on their plastic pitch could have gone either way. But the strength and determination of the Leinster defensive effort hauled them through and made it two weekends in a row that Leo Cullen’s side had robbed a Welsh region of a 100% record.
