Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has insisted there won’t be any lack of motivation within his squad ahead of this afternoon’s United Rugby Championship quarter-final clash with Glasgow Warriors at the RDS (kick-off 3.15pm).
The Blues’ principle focus in recent weeks had been on securing a fifth European star, before Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle put paid to this quest in the Champions Cup decider at Marseille last weekend. The majority of the Leinster set-up have accumulated multiple league titles under Cullen’s watch - winning four consecutive Pro14 crowns before it was rebranded as the URC - but the elevation of some fresh blood to their first-team ranks ensures the drive for domestic success remains intact.
