Match Preview: Cardiff Blues vs Leinster Rugby
by Jim O'Connor, 2010-03-06
Leinster travel to Cardiff this Sunday looking to cement their position in the table with a precious away win. It's going to be a tough task against a Blues team in very good form but Leinster have shown in the past that they can go to Wales during the Six Nations and win.

by Jim O'Connor, 2010-02-20
After a break of a month, Leinster's fractured season starts back up again with the visit of the Scarlets tomorrow. With the disappointment of the national team's performances over the last two weeks, it comes as something of a relief to return to provincial concerns. However this is a very important match for Leinster to restart their Magners League campaign.

Leinster go to Twickenham tomorrow with revenge on their minds. Since they lost their first game at home to London Irish, this is the game they've been looking forward to. That loss put them under immediate pressure in the pool and they responded to that pressure magnificently with four straight wins. The fact that those wins included three bonus points was pretty handy too, particularly as the Scarlets did Leinster another massive favour last week.

Leinster supporters have been going through cold turkey for the last three weeks. It's one thing having no Leinster matches when we have Ireland matches as a replacement, but having nothing at all has been tough. There have been reports of roving bands of desperate Leinster fans roaming from place to place in search of their fix of rugby like characters in a Gus Van Sant movie. But now the snow has gone, hopefully for good for this season at least, and the RDS is back in business tomorrow evening.

by Jim O'Connor, 2010-01-01
After a momentous 2009, Leinster travel to Galway for their first match of 2010. The Sportsground is always a tough venue to visit and Leinster endured a lot of close calls in recent years before finally losing there last season. On that occasion Leinster had travelled with a weakened team and it's the same this time with several top men rested, Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Kearney and Jamie Heaslip the most notable. Connacht rested some of their star men for the timid defeat away to Munster so it's clear they're targeting this one. So Leinster are up against it tomorrow.
