Leinster take on Ulster this weekend in a last-eight encounter in the URC.
THEY MAY HAVE missed out on a significant prize in London just under a fortnight ago, but Dan Sheehan has acknowledged the Leinster squad are grateful to still be in a position to challenge for silverware in the closing weeks of their 2023/24 campaign.
“We’ve talked about it as a squad. We’re lucky enough to have the chance that there is still something to play for. Hopefully with three weeks of success, but we need to make sure we take it one week at a time,” Sheehan remarked at a Leinster media briefing on Monday. Replacing Ronan Kelleher on 53 minutes, Sheehan bagged the home team’s fourth try of the game to bring his scoring tally for the season up to eight. Instead of waiting until this weekend to return from the crushing disappointment of the Toulouse game, the 25-year-old was more than happy to do so in Ballsbridge.
While Leinster are favourites to overcome their interprovincial rivals at Irish Rugby HQ – and set up a semi-final showdown with the winners of the Saturday afternoon clash between The Bulls and Benetton at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria – Ulster certainly aren’t coming up to Dublin just to make up the numbers.
