Match Preview: Gloucester Rugby Rugby vs Leinster Rugby
by Jim O'Connor, 2023-01-13
Leinster are back in European action this week and they face an awkward trip to the South West of England.
Last week Leinster had some good preparation in a properly tough match. The Ospreys largely laid waste to the Leinster scrum and made their life a misery at the breakdown with the ageless Justin Tipuric giving a masterclass.

It's funny how the draws tend to pair up the same teams in Europe.
Leinster seem to draw certain English teams all the time. They're sick of the sight of Bath, Northampton and Harlequins and especially Saracens in the knock-out stages in the last few years. However tomorrow will be the first time they play Gloucester in almost sixteen years.

That game last week was mad!
After 35 minutes the RDS was in shock. After Cian Healy's red card Ulster racked up three quickfire tries and it looked like the Northeners would put a serious number up on Leinster. It wasn't like Leinster were playing that well even before the red card as their play had been littered with basic errors.

"Hear about Helenowski and Brown? They got into a helluva scrap with six Mexicans at some bar. Helenowski lost six pints of blood. Brown's in a coma."
"I heard Helenowski lost an eye and they're reading Brown the last rites".
"What?? I have the report right here. They're home with bruises and muscle pulls."
In the last couple of weeks Leinster fans might have been reminded of the above lines from "L.A. Confidential".

Leinster got the job done in the first half last week away to Leicester. Then in the second half it was just about keeping Leicester at bay which they did convincingly enough for the most part. Some were critical of the overall Leinster performance but a proud Leicester team was always going to have a decent spell in possession. And the tough second half when Leinster had to dig in and produce big defensive moments will battle-harden them more than scoring another twenty points in a handy win. It should stand to them for the tough fight they face against Toulouse tomorrow afternoon.
