Leinster return home for the first competitive outing at the new Laya Arena, and the excitement is already building with the game close to sold out. After a tough but worthwhile tour to South Africa, there’s a focus on what the squad learned, and how valuable those minutes were for young lads and academy players.
Leo Cullen speaks to our own Dara Smith Naughton and we hear about Oliver Coffey’s first Leinster start, Alex Usanov coming back into the front row, and why players like Casper Gabriel and Josh Ericson have earned their place in the matchday 23.
Plus, the mindset shift now: back at home, and battling for every single point against Cardiff.
