THE PREDICTION
Leinster have held their past two opponents to just seven points at home, winning back-to-back United Rugby Championship matches at home to Edinburgh 26-7 and most recently Ospreys 29-7. A third-straight URC home fixture will be music to the reigning Pro14 champions’ ears as they look to extend a slim lead at the top of the table in this vital game in-hand. Travelling Lions look unable to cause much trouble here after a 31-45 defeat at home to Sharks last Saturday made it seven matches lost in a row across all competitions. Interestingly, both of their wins this season have come on the road in the URC but it would be something short of a miracle to see them do anything other than lose heavily here. Leinster can even rotate a Six Nations-depleted side at home and covering -20 is an achievable target.
