Quotes corner

“East coast will, hopefully, be a bit better,” the Leinster head coach Leo Cullen said. “The form book does go out the window. It’s another big provincial game at the Aviva and you want that to be a celebration of provincial rugby and of the rivalry.

“Hopefully, we’ll have not just blue jerseys about but plenty of red ones in there as well because you want that, don’t you?"
