Cheika pays tribute to squad

Leinster head coach Michael Cheika has singled out the versatility of his squad as the province romped home to its second Celtic League title with a ruthless 41-8 victory over Newport Gwent Dragons at the RDS.

The title win is all the sweeter for Cheika as it comes at the end of a season where World Cup-induced fatigue and the long term absence of centres D'Arcy and O'Driscoll forced him to reshuffle his team at key moments.
