THE PREDICTION
Leinster bounced back from their defeat to Ulster last week with a thumping 47-19 victory at home to Connacht last Friday in the URC. They will start the Champions Cup as second favourites behind holders Toulouse and a very kind opening fixture at home to struggling Premiership side Bath is a welcome one. The visitors have lost each of their nine Premiership games so far and they are as depleted of manpower as they are in confidence. This could be quite the hammering on Saturday and potentially an uncomfortable watch, with Leinster well capable of covering -30 here.
