Leinster moved back up the table after their bonus-point win over the Dragons last week.

After a couple of weeks in the unusual surroundings of the lower and mid table, Leinster are back near the top of the table in second place just behind the Bulls on point difference.

In what has to be the longest off season in the professional era Leinster play their first competitive game this Sunday in Glasgow after a five month break!
