DUBLIN : There will be a sense of deja vu around Dublin when Leinster take on defending champions La Rochelle in a repeat of last year’s European Champions Cup final at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, though this year the Irish side has home advantage.
Leinster's James Lowe is back in contention ffor Saturday's Heineken Champions Cup final but Will Connors has been ruled out.
Stormers captain Steven Kitshoff was among four South African players named in the United Rugby Champion's (URC) team of the year announced on Thursday.
Six Irish players have been included on the BKT United Rugby Championship's Elite XV for the 2022/23 season.
Leinster look set to rest their frontline players for Saturday's BKT United Rugby Championship semi-final against Munster at the Aviva Stadium (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player), with attack coach Andrew Goodman saying they'll be backing their squad depth.
Leinster have may earned a home route to potential Heineken Champions Cup glory but Leicester head coach Richard Wigglesworth warned the tournament favourites they have "got to go and win it" after past disappointments.
Let’s just say Dublin is not the happiest of English hunting grounds right now. Leicester did at least avoid any red cards but, as with England in the Six Nations last month, there was never any danger of an eye-catching away win. Leinster are into the last four of the Champions Cup and now await either Toulouse or Sharks in the semi-finals.
But for a five minute spell early in the second half, this Leinster win didn't look in much doubt.
