Leinster attack coach Andrew Goodman insists that tonight's clash with Ulster is a “massive” game for the province even if the team named for their trip to Belfast reaffirms the importance of their visit to London in seven days’ time.

Leo Cullen has named an XV with eleven internationals for this URC derby but the priority that is the Champions Cup decider against Toulouse next weekend is highlighted by the absence of all but one of the starters who beat Northampton Saints in the semi-final.
