Leinster captain Leo Cullen has been involved in no less than three Heineken Cup semi-finals and he tells the Irish Times' Johnny Watterson how each one had its own character.
"This week Cullen watched a piece of video of Leinster’s early season Heineken Cup match against London Irish at the RDS. His reasoning was as much to do with extracting what Leinster did so badly in that wobbling start to their campaign as much as it was to take some of the encouraging tracts to France. From the match he concluded that you rarely get what you expect to get.
"Back then Leinster were in no position to claim they could successfully defend their trophy. But Cullen is not squeamish about watching some car crash moments. He is the Leinster captain for a reason and one of them is his ability to use experience wisely. From the muck you can sometimes dig out a diamond."
