Team News
Cardiff
Outside centre Harri Millard has highlighted what it will take to match Leinster this weekend: “Expect a lot of line speed. They’re very good defensively and can get on top of you quickly. We want to use our skills to beat that line speed, get our wingers on the ball and cause a bit of chaos.
“To do that, we need quick ball from our forwards in midfield. If we get that, it should open up the edges for us backs.”
Liam Belcher, Ben Thomas, and Mason Grady have been released from the Wales Six Nations squad to play for Cardiff this weekend.
Leinster
Fly-half Harry Byrne has returned from the Ireland squad ahead of their URC game against Cardiff.
Robbie Henshaw, Jimmy O’Brien and Rabah Slimani have all returned from injury and are available for selection.
Verdict
Leinster have an outstanding record against Cardiff and are tipped to cover the -8.5 handicap.
Leinster -8.5
