A certain Joe McCarthy made his senior debut the last time Leinster faced Cardiff at the Arms Park. Proof, were it needed, that even the most routine of URC matches can hold the potential to throw up something seismic.

Leo Cullen has actually named a pretty strong XV and matchday squad for this one given the bulk of his best are busy with Ireland’s latest Grand Slam tilt. There were 13 of the squad against Benetton the last day with five caps or fewer but only one here.
