They could be Chelsea to Leinster’s Bayern Munich. The one thing that the Ospreys must not do against Leinster is to play rugby against them. It would be like trying to out-box Muhammad Ali. They way to beat Leinster is to drag them into a street fight. Full Article at Wales Online

Knowing Luke, he will be determined to overcome this setback and aggressively tackle his rehab to regain full fitness. He will continue to benefit from the full support of Leinster Rugby and the IRFU during that time frame.
“I think, for me, that’s been the most pleasing thing.” Kearney praised the ability of Leinster’s New Zealand coach Joe Schmidt to take them and him to new heights. “This is the first year I’ve been exposed to his level of coaching, and I suppose just... Full Article at Wales Online

Brian O’Driscoll is progressing well after stepping up his rehab in recent weeks and may be fit for selection this week

Luke has been in fine form recently and as well as his capabilities on the field, he is a positive and popular presence within the dressing-room. Knowing Luke, he will be determined to overcome this setback and aggressively tackle his rehab to regain full fitness and he will continue to benefit from the...
I think it is going to be quite an open match and I don't think it will necessarily end in a Leinster win. In fact I don't really know who will win.
We wanted to give younger players a chance to build their confidence through the EA Sports Cup and Leinster Senior Cup. Unfortunately, we didn’t go as far in those competitions as we would have liked. Now we need them in the league.
Leinster and Munster have probably been the forerunners with regard to European rugby and Irish rugby
Obviously they’re two of the best teams in Europe so whichever one we were going to get was going to be a real challenge. You saw the game yourself, nerves were shattered, so it’s Leinster in an All-Ireland final and it should be a great game
In other words, it was not a case of Ireland against the Vikings but, essentially, Munster against Leinster aided by the Vikings ... That scenario has since been repeated on the rugby field on many occasions.
Shaggy (Shane Horgan) was talking about almost a Leinster DNA and the way that affects the younger guys ... They relish the thought of playing for Leinster. I think it is a privilege for them, they know they won’t just get it. There is no sense of entitlement, they have to earn it. I think all these thi...

Munster and south Leinster have been experiencing rain because of low pressure from the south-east coast. It’s been quite windy as well, the winds are coming from the north-east, which makes it feel quite chilly.
In the end, the all-Irish final validates the provincial system in the country ... After the domination of Munster, we’re now experiencing that of Leinster and the rise in power of Ulster, although that province is organised a little differently with a strong South African influence. But it should be no...
It’s one game away now from European Cup immortality! To be the greatest of them all! That’s what Leinster can achieve!
Pre-season games are important as they give us a chance to try new patterns of play and integrate new players into the squad. During the course of the 2012/13 campaign we will be playing some of the toughest teams in Europe in both the Premiership and Heineken Cup, which is why it makes sense for us to ...
Leinster and Munster set a standard and we were nowhere near that. There were times when you'd thought it would be better to go somewhere else which you weren't so attached to. We had a bit of success in 2005-06 when we won the Celtic League but we sat back and thought we'd made it. Instead it got progr...
Leinster are pretty much the same team as last season and I think the teams are quite similar with effective forwards and good back rows. On paper you're looking at a 50-50 game.
Even before last weekend's Top14 game against Montpellier we had already had a look at Leinster's quarter-final against Cardiff Blues
I've played in a fair few cup finals in my time in league and union, and I had the odd Heineken Cup game for Leinster
It’s hard not to go with Leinster given the fact they have gone 13 games unbeaten in the Heineken Cup and are reigning champions. This is their third semi-final in a row and that experience is bound to count for something. It adds up to a memorable weekend of European rugby action with two massive final...
The Ulster management team will have a near full strength squad to choose from as Pedrie Wannenburg (groin) and Paddy Wallace (illness) are likely to be available despite also being forced off during the Leinster game
Even before last weekend's Top 14 game against Montpellier we had already had a quick look at Leinster's quarter-final against Cardiff Blues
It was great preparation for the Heineken Cup semi-final against Leinster. Montpellier caused us a lot of problems, but we were able to adapt and win the game
We wanted to come away here tonight with a win but we showed that we're more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the European champions ... We have to focus on a really tough game next week against Edinburgh and do our damndest to win to ensure we get another crack at them (Leinster). The only thing w...
Tonight will be good preparation for the game in Bordeaux because Leinster and Montpellier are quite similar
Leinster and Munster can send down so-called weaker squads to Connacht and still get a result and I think that is something that we really have to strive for
