Team News
Leinster
Attack coach Tyler Bleyendaal has said Leinster need to adjust to the latest law changes while staying true to their established style of play. He said: “I think it’s got to match your team’s DNA and what you’re about.
“I don’t know if there’s a perfect game. You’ve just got to find the perfect game for your group and be able to execute that.
“We don’t want to become a team that plays one phase and kicks the whole time. How do we get better in our breakdown, in our rucking, in our attacking play?
“For us, I’d say we are reasonably balanced. We like to play ball in hand, but we do have an effective kicking game."
Ulster
Head coach Richie Murphy insists that, despite a less-than-convincing start to the season, Leinster remain the side everyone is chasing in the URC. He said: “They are the current champions.
“I think people are being a little bit disrespectful saying that they’re not playing particularly well but they are winning."
Ulster have been handed a boost ahead of the derby with Stuart McCloskey and Jude Postlethwaite returning to the squad.
Verdict
Leinster have a superior record against Ulster and are tipped to cover the -13.5 handicap.
