Eighteen tries in their first two Champions Cup knockout ties is one thing. None conceded in their meetings with Harlequins and Glasgow is quite another. Leinster have found their groove on both sides of the ball. And some.

Their nilling of Quins in Croke Park last week was the first time it had happened in 30 years of knockout ‘European’ rugby. To do it again against Glasgow, on the other side of the Liffey in the Aviva Stadium, six days later is a repeat statement that can’t be ignored.
