'I think it'll be there in the back of our minds' - Leinster hoping to channel their frustrations onto Glasgow

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen admits the pain of last week's Champions Cup final defeat to La Rochelle may still be playing on the minds of his players as they return to URC action tomorrow.

A week on from their dramatic 24-21 loss to Ronan O'Gara's side in Marseille, Leinster welcome Glasgow Warriors to the RDS for tomorrow's United Rugby Championship quarter-final (live on RTÉ1 and RTÉ Player).

Eight of last week's starting team continue in the side that was named today, while Johnny Sexton, James Lowe, Hugo Keenen and Rónan Kelleher were all ruled out due to injury.

The Leinster head coach says the URC play-offs are a perfect opportunity for his players to blow off the frustrations of last Saturday but concedes their latest Champions Cup final defeat will be hard to move on from.

"That's the thing, it's onto the next challenge, isn't it?," he said, ahead of tomorrow's game at the RDS.

"You try your best to park the game, I think it'll be there in the back of our minds for the future, but great to be back here at the RDS, we haven't played here in a long time. Hopefully we'll get a big crowd.

"For the players, they're just excited to get back playing again, because it was a frustrating weekend in Marseille last weekend. In terms of the selection, it's trying to get the right combination, getting freshness in there.

"We picked up a few knocks in the course of the game and there are a few guys unavailable due to knocks. As I said, we're excited to get going again."

With Tadhg Furlong, Andrew Porter, Josh van der Flier, Garry Ringrose and Jamison Gibson-Park among the big names retained, and Lions Jack Conan and Robbie Henshaw among the replacements, Leinster still have more then enough firepower in their matchday 23 to be firm
