Leinster have a 10-day turnaround to their St Stephen’s Day fixture against Munster at a sold-out Thomond Park before hosting Connacht on New Year’s Day at the RDS six days later. “It’s a half-seven kick-off down there and, ah, people are used to it. We’ll do a team run on Christmas Eve, in the morning, and then the guys not involved in the team will get a few days off then across the 24th, 25th, 26th and the day after the game as well. Come back in fresh and be ready for Connacht here on New Year’s Day. That’s the business we’re in. It’s part and parcel of the action. You just have to roll up the sleeves and get on with it.
