As a result of their chastening Champions Cup defeat in Marseille last weekend, scrum coach Robin McBryde has acknowledged there will be an added significance to Leinster’s United Rugby Championship quarter-final clash with Glasgow Warriors at the RDS on Saturday.

When their last-eight meeting against the Scots was confirmed at the end of the regular URC season, the eastern province were hoping to come into it on the back of claiming a fifth European star. However, La Rochelle put paid to this particular dream at the Stade Velodrome and now Leinster will be hoping that a second quest for silverware doesn't fall by the wayside.
