Cudmore glad to have 'inside knowledge'

Clermont Auvergne lock Jamie Cudmore believes his team will need any inside information they can get to overturn defending champions Leinster in Sunday’s Heineken Cup semi-final at the Stade Chaban Delmas (4pm).

Clermont will be looking to their lock Nathan Hines, formerly of Leinster, to provide an insight into his old team while Head Coach Vern Cotter will hope to outfox his former Clermont colleague Joe Schmidt.
