Speaking after the confirmation of the Champions Cup Quarter-Final fixture, Leo Cullen said:
“The challenge doesn’t get any easier against a Saracens team looking for three Champion Cup titles in a row. They’re well coached under Mark McCall and have an array of English and foreign talent at their disposal and they’re showing good form in Europe and in the Premiership. They’re the top try scorers in both competitions so we’re under no illusions as to the task ahead.
“It’s a while away yet but great to know who we have and we can start planning. It’s a challenge that we very much look forward to and I know the Leinster supporters will respond in kind to make it a brilliant occasion at the Aviva.”
Before the Champions Cup Quarter-Final clash against Saracens, Leinster will face Scarlets and South Africa’s Southern Kings in two crucial Guinness PRO14 games at the RDS Arena. Tickets for both of these games are available now.
