A win for Leinster today will ensure top spot from Group A but they face a tough task against Premiership leaders Bath.
With Premiership leaders Bath coming to town just six days after Leinster put in a season-best display against French rivals La Rochelle, it seems a pivotal moment in their season.
But standing in their way are Bath, who have been in phenomenal form this season. The Johann van Graan led side have won eight of their 10 Premiership games so far. However, a loss today could well see them exit the competition.Today's game takes place at the Aviva Stadium with kick-off set for 5.30 pm. RTE Two will broadcast the game live and it can be streamed on the RTE Player. Premier Sports will also show the game live.
Leinster have been great value to here this season, unbeaten home and away in both European and URC competition, their water-tight defending has been effective - chest-thumping worthy for them, demoralising for the opposition. They lead the URC by 10 points after nine games and top Pool 2 in the Champions Cup.
Interesting so that is a game against Bath who top the Gallagher English Premier by six points, it is not quite a runaway lead but it is significant and, for good measure, they are that league's top scorers and it's meanest defence . He is entitled to think he is on top now though and it will be interesting to see if he has some deep-rooted theory as to how to get at Leinster although, to be fair, his Munster 2107-22 weren't playing Jacques Nienaber's Leinster 2023-here.
