Leinster head coach Leo Cullen is hoping that the province can attract a bumper crowd to Croke Park for their Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton Saints in three weeks’ time.

The four-time tournament champions booked their return to GAA HQ 15 years after beating Munster there in front of a world record crowd for a club rugby match by overcoming Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle 40-13 in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.
