Blues bid to keep hitting right notes off Broadway

Listen to the radio sports bulletins and chats this week and Leinster have barely merited a mention.

Pundits have glossed over this Heineken Champions Cup fixture, at home to Lyon, day after day. Munster’s uphill battle in Paris, Ulster’s free hit in Clermont and Connacht’s do-or-die against Toulouse have all merited far more air time. And rightly so. You don’t need to look for the odds to know that nothing less than a five-point haul is expected of the four-time champions at the RDS.
