142 unanswered points - who can stop Leinster in Europe?

Written by

The game in Dublin was effectively over after 25 minutes, and questions turned to if Leinster could 'nil' a team for the second time in a week.

It wasn't just a yes, but a resounding one. Even in the 79th minute, 52 points and eight tries to the good, the blitz defence was racing up on the Glasgow line like it was the second minute.

As head coach Cullen said: "This group is hungry and motivated and that's what we want to see".

Spearheaded by the impressive Sam Prendergast, Leinster will now face either Northampton or Castres in the semi-finals, and on the evidence of the last two weeks they will be favourites to reach the final.

However, there is one lingering question over Leinster - and that's the ability in the biggest moments.

It's strange to say it for a team littered with Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand internationals, but their trophy 'drought' stretches back four years.

They have lost the last three European finals, and haven't even lifted the domestic United Rugby Championship title in that time.

That could cause natural worry as another potential decider looms ever-closer, but former Leinster and Ireland fly-half Ian Madigan says "this year feels different".
