No, it definitely does.

They're now, they've already confirmed obviously their top eight spot, but there is a world where Leinster could finish top year of the URC and that comes with huge advantages.

Obviously,

in terms of home advantage in the quarter and semi-final and the run through.

So it's a big game.

You saw a couple of key players playing last weekend, like I said, James Ryan, Jamie Osborne, Hugo Keenan coming off the bench.

I would imagine it will be mixed up again, but you'll see much more of the stronger guys coming in.

Now, look, that didn't exactly work when they did it in the build-up to the two long games.

Remember, they lost to Benetton and were really poor defensively.

Because I would imagine if a lot of those frontliners played this weekend, what's in their head is, I just have to get through this game unscathed.

I do not want to miss the Champions Cup final.

Do you think that was a factor in the Toulon...

performance before too long yeah absolutely absolutely against Benetton yeah for sure Benetton got a big reaction they'd been desperately poor against Munster the previous week yeah absolutely I don't think players would be human I think all of us would be like that wouldn't we you want to get to a Champions Cup final you don't want to pick up an injury in

albeit a league game that's important, but you're pretty comfortable in your league position.

So there'll be an element of that, I would say, for sure this weekend.

I think the team that will play next week is largely settled, but for the couple of injuries that are... The injury update was quite positive yesterday for Leinster, like Jack Conan coming back into the mix, James Lowe.

I don't know if he'll have done enough to get into the Champions Cup side with the lack of game time.

Paddy McCarthy...

which is a huge boost as well.

Robbie Henshaw as well.
