Despite taking on a side that are in a similar boat when it comes to international absentees, Leinster senior coach Jacques Nienaber isn’t anticipating any major surprises from Benetton in this afternoon’s United Rugby Championship showdown at the RDS (kick-off 3pm).

Playing for the first time since their European Champions Cup pool stage win over Leicester Tigers at Welford Road on January 20, Leinster return to competitive action without the services of their 19-strong Ireland contingent.
