Leinster passed their biggest test of the campaign last weekend with flying colors as they came through a physical encounter with La Rochelle. The 16-14 victory in France extended their winning run to 12 games in all competitions and ensured they qualified for the last 16 of the Champions Cup after only three games. The hard-fought win also showed that Leo Cullen’s side will once again be contenders for the title.
After losing their opening two games, Bath’s six-try bonus point win over Clermont Auvergne kept their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. The Premiership pace-setters have found it tough going in Pool 2 but could progress if things go their way in Dublin. They’ll be going all out for victory but even a losing bonus point could be good enough if Bennetton are well beaten at home to La Rochelle.
