Leinster out to 'right a few wrongs' against Bulls

Accepted wisdom has it that the opening weekends of the URC season can serve as a sort of buffet for the average rugby fan who might pick and choose at the fare on offer after a summer sated by the feast of Test rugby and looking ahead to finer fare again.

Leinster’s visit to Pretoria to take on the Bulls, a meeting of league champions and the side they beat in a Croke Park final back in June, was always going to be one of the more choice cuts on offer. Events last week have just added extra sauce.
