Leo Cullen as 'excited as ever' despite Leinster upheaval

Leinster’s CEO, senior coach and on-field talisman are all poised to exit the building in the coming year, the coaching staff has already experienced a major shake-up, and the club is still absorbing the failure to win a trophy for the first time in five seasons.

Fair to say then that these are interesting times in the capital.
