Leinster Senior Coach Jacques Nienaber said: “It’s a privilege for any team to be involved in the knockout stages. It’s a privilege for us definitely to be testing ourselves against Glasgow this weekend, the reigning champions, who obviously understand how to play knockout games if you look at what they did last year. It’s a privilege to test ourselves against a quality side like that.”
Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Franco Smith said: “Leinster are the standard setters in this competition. They finished top of the standings for a reason, and have consistently out-performed teams across the course of this season while showing their strength in depth.
“It is a challenge that we know we will need to be at our best to meet, and the players are focused on the task at hand.
“Training this week has been sharp and competitive, with every player working hard for each other to put this squad in the best possible position for tomorrow afternoon.”
