Ruaidhri O'Connor

And we'll own that because he's been absolutely brilliant.

He played, I think, 75 minutes against Edinburgh.

He went 80 against Sale Sharks with a stint in the back row.

I suspect we might see that again for a period this week to try and get your best players on the pitch.

Any team that has a player of Dan Sheehan's quality playing as well as he is has a chance because he's...

An incredible game breaker.

Keenan's going really, really well.

Harry Burns having a good season.

Ringrose is hitting a nice bit of form.

Doris is back and I'd expect a big day from him.

So there's loads of reasons why...

There's too many good players in that 23, certainly in the starting 15 to think that they're not going to produce something at the weekend.

The problem is, and the doubts will come from the fact that they're just the attacking issues.

I haven't talked about the defensive issues, the fact that they've had really poor discipline whenever they've been under pressure all season, which wasn't really a factor in the two knockout games, but they weren't really under pressure in those games.

the aerially Ioane could definitely be got at and George Ford I think made a big mistake by not targeting him they kept putting the high balls up on Hugo Keenan in that game and for a player as experienced as Ford that was a mistake Sale were in that game until the 45th minute or so and I think if they'd gone after Rico Ioane a bit more they could have got more pay so there's loads of reasons to fear for them

And also loads of reasons why... There's 15 reasons on the pitch why they should be able to get through this at home.

They are 10-point favourites in the bookies.

So the expectation is that Leinster will win this game and get to the bow, where I think they'll be ranked outsiders against Bordeaux if it is Bordeaux.

But this is the one where they're expected to win.

And it'll be interesting to see how they handle that expectation and how they perform because...
