Dan McKellar Question Champions Cup Format Leinster Date
There has been a questioning of the nature of the Championship Trophy this season for the team’s 16-team tour to face Leinster in Dublin. The winners of the following week’s semi-finals will face either The Stormers or La Roselle, who both played the Tigers in the pool stage this season.
Leiknir is filled with Irish national teams who had smacken the Six Nations during this period.The team already has a strong Leinster side and would prefer to have fewer matters of deja vu in the future. “Nobody did anything right when they were planning the tournament,” Guðmundur said, as he is still in his first season at Liverpool.
“I was driving this morning and thought,’ we’re going to France or South Africa next week to play the Stormers or La. It sounds familiar. Something’s wrong. You have bridges so you have a little variety. But that’s what it is. The game with Leinster in Dublin tonight they have earned the right to host at home and we will go there with the intention of creating an uproar because I don’t think many people expect us to win.”
Given that Leinster have not smacken the Irish province in the Champions League in 16 years, it is not surprising that Leinster are heavy favourites going into the last eight,
but he claimed that his side would be tougher than some had imagined. “They are a very good rugby team, basically an international team, but they have two arms, two legs and a heartsmack and we go there with the intention of disturbing them.
“If you think back to the last game we played not so long ago, he was 10-0 after 20 minutes, then he gets to try twice or what so ever you have to say, then we were punished severely and suddenly the score was 10-10. We manage for a long time.We get a lot of confidence out of it.”
The former coach of the striker encourages Liverpool fans to believe this over the weekend. “If you look at the Tigers’ Dna, it’s back up the wall and there aren’t whole expectations around, that’s when this club thrives. I would say, stay with us. Believe and understand-days like Saturday are made for this club.”
Munster, Leinster’s provincial rivals, travel to Northampton for the weekend. Except For John Ryan. He has been handed a three-match ban by the Disciplinary Committee for an iljuristic tackle against Liverpool last weekend. Sione Tuipulotu, however, will play his first match for the Caps since January when they face the Harlekins on the pitch.
