Ross Molony planning Leinster revenge mission against Scarlets

The two starting XVs may be unrecognisable from last May’s Guinness PRO12 semi-final — but Leinster are determined to ensure the scoreline is also very different.

Scarlets visit the RDS this Saturday for the first time since that fateful semi-final win over Leo Cullen’s men, a victory that set them on their way to a first title since the 2004 Celtic League when they beat Munster at Lansdowne Road.

Both sides have a shedload of players on international duty with Wales and Ireland — who meet in Dublin the following weekend on Six Nations duty, ensuring a raft of new faces will be given the opportunity to play their part in a growing rivalry this weekend.
