‘Reality check’ for Leinster ahead of huge Saracens test

Fergus McFadden and Noel Reid will have to undergo the back to play protocols after leaving the field with head knocks in the 32-18 defeat at the Liberty Stadium, while Dave Kearney will be treated for a left shoulder injury that restricted his game time to a mere 11 minutes in a physical tussle against the Welsh region.
Victory would have secured qualification for the Guinness PRO14 play-offs with three games to play for Le Cullen’s men, but there shouldn’t be any problem in holding onto their three point lead at the top of Conference B with home games against the Italian duo of Benetton Rugby and Zebre followed by a trip to Galway to meet Connacht.
