Rokocoko fears Leinster more than Saracens

Joe Rokocoko has no doubt but that the Leinster side he faces this weekend is a more complete threat than the Saracens outfit that deprived him of Champions Cup glory in the 2016 decider.

Sarries claimed a first European Cup with that 21-9 victory over Racing 92, Owen Farrell kicking all of the English side’s points as they ground out victory on a day of heavy rain and one when the French contenders lost Dan Carter midway through.

Win in Bilbao on Saturday and Leinster will emulate Saracen’s singular achievement that year in winning all nine games on the way to the title so the former All Black understands just how difficult it will be for the Parisian side to stop that happening.
