Despite the confirmation of three positive tests within his extended squad, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen is happy to have avoided major disruption in advance of tomorrow’s Heineken Champions Cup Pool A opener against Bath at the Aviva Stadium (kick-off 3.15pm).

After being tested outside of the eastern province’s own PCR testing window, the three unnamed players are currently self-isolating and are ruled out for the visit of the English Premiership outfit to south Dublin.
