'Subtle tweaks' the order of the day for Leo Cullen

Leinster were 22-point favourites for this second leg against Connacht with various bookmakers yesterday

Leo Cullen didn’t know how he was supposed to feel after Leinster edged out Connacht in the Sportsground seven days ago. It was a win and it wasn’t. If a draw felt like kissing your sister then this 26-21 win was just as weird and far more confusing.

Cullen’s mood will be black or white come 7.30 or so this evening. Either Leinster will have got the better of Connacht over the course of two legs and 160-plus minutes of rugby in this Heineken Champions Cup tie, or they won’t.
