Leo Cullen: It's a privilege to be at Croke Park. It's a magnificent stadium

Leinster boss Leo Cullen wants his side to do justice to the ”real privilege” of playing at Croke Park when they play at the iconic GAA stadium in Saturday’s Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton Saints.

Cullen was Leinster captain when the last club rugby match was played at the 82,000-plus capacity in 2009, a 25-6 Heineken Cup semi-final victory over arch rivals Munster and he hopes his current playing squad can produce a similar outcome on their return to the venue on Dublin’s northside for a match that sold out within hours of tickets going on sale.
