Comment from Head Coach, Lyn Jones:
"Leinster are one of the top European sides and they have again shown up
strongly in this seasons Heineken Cup. They had an uncharacteristic
performance in last weeks semi final against Munster but they will now
be concentrating fully on the Celtic League and looking to put things right
against us this weekend"
"We will be concentrating on our own game and looking to build on the
success of our victory over the Scarlets. It was a committed, disciplined
and passionate performance against what was a formidable Scarlets outfit and
although we were delighted with the result we are now fully focussed on the
remaining fixtures"
