Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has insisted there will be ‘plenty of edge’ to their Champions Cup clash against Racing 92 at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 3.15pm), despite the eastern province already being assured of a knockout spot.

Sitting on top of Pool A with a maximum points tally of 15 from three games to date, Leinster are looking for a fourth consecutive victory to ensure they remain in the Lansdowne Road venue until their 2022/23 European campaign reaches a conclusion. On the other hand, Top 14 outfit Racing face the prospect of elimination from the Champions Cup if Saturday’s result doesn’t go their way.
