Rhys Ruddock: 'We hope that performance will send a statement'

Rhys Ruddock believes Leinster’s victory over Toulouse at the weekend was a statement win as they prepare to wrap up the loose ends in Pool One of the Heineken Champions Cup.

The champions had to make do without 10 senior internationals and James Lowe for Saturday’s clash at the RDS, but the flanker believes it is the pedigree which the French brought to the arena that makes the 29-13 victory such a standout.
