The Heineken Cup resumes tomorrow night as Leinster take on Edinburgh in the RDS.  Leinster go into this match on a high after last week's historic victory over Munster in Cork.  It was a special night for Leinster as the pack fronted up and beat Munster at their own game in a match played in horrendous conditions.  After the great performance against Leicester, the pack took a step back against Toulouse, but they've stepped up to the mark again.  This type of performance has to become the standard from which they don't waver.
