Leo Cullen is confident that there will be no repeat of Ireland’s setpiece shambles against England two months ago when his Leinster pack take on Leicester Tigers under the watchful eye of the same French referee.

Mathieu Raynal frustrated Andy Farrell’s side during that Six Nations contest when awarding six penalties against the visitors at the setpiece, with Jack Conan subsequently suggesting that the official had apologised for some of his decisions.
