Following a convincing comeback against Bath in Round Four of the Champions Cup, Leinster return to the URC and are set to welcome Stormers to the Aviva Stadium with a look to continue their unbeaten streak this season. We have all the details on how to watch Leinster v Stormers.
While Leinster are high-flying and in total control of the league, their form will be the subject of scrutiny and questions will be raised to see if they will continue this standard now that the squad is set to lose players to the upcoming Six Nations. Manager Leo Cullen is fully aware of this and vows to not let the strong levels of performance get to his players' heads.
I think we are doing lots of good things. Nobody is getting carried away. There is a break now. We know what it’s like. Certain guys will go away for the Six Nations. We have a group that will have a point to prove that they want to play for Leinster.
