Cullen excited about new season

Leinster captain Leo Cullen has learned to treasure this part of the season as he moves inevitably towards the end of a magnificent career.

"The first weekend of matches is always an exciting time and the older you get, the more excited you become around this time of year," said Cullen, speaking ahead of Leinster's Magners League opener against The Scarlets tomorrow at Parc y Scarlets.
