Leinster boss Leo Cullen will come up against his old club Leicester Tigers in the Champions Cup quarter-finals.
LEO CULLEN WAS quick to give credit to his forwards after Leinster muscled their way past Ulster to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup.
After Ryan Baird scores a try, Ulster hit back and even when Jamison scores they hit back again so they battled away Ulster, as we knew they would and it’s a strange feeling, a 10-week lead-up to a game and now you’ve a six-day turnaround. “Some positives in the game and overall we’ve come through ok,” Cullen continued.
In the Leinster pack, Baird built on his strong Six Nations form with a big display in the backrow, scoring the province’s first try and delivering a series of impactful moments in a typically all-action display. “Josh twisted his ankle so we’ll see how that is,” Cullen said. “I don’t know the full extent of it. He seemed to be moving ok, but obviously he’s had to come off with it.”
“They played last night in Edinburgh in pretty horrific conditions. Hopefully it’s a slightly drier day so you can see bit more fluid, running rugby from both teams. You see the way England played here a couple of weeks ago, that sort of Steve Borthwick template.
