Form Guide
Leo Cullen's team narrowly beat the Lions last week. The game was heading straight to a 36-36 draw. However a late foul from the Lions lead to a penalty put over the bar from debut player Sam Prendergast. With a second team on the field Leinster still managed to pull off a win.
They have guaranteed the top seed for the playoffs as Ulster is second with 15 points behind their Irish rivals.
Leinster are still in the Champions Cup as they will welcome French side Toulouse next week in the Aviva Stadium for the semi finals.
Besides that astonishing win over Zebre, the last couple of weeks have been a complete nightmare for the Bulls. They were knocked out of the Champions Cup by Toulouse in the round of 16, losing 33-9.
In the Currie Cup, they've won there last two games, however they are sitting seventh (second last) with only 13 points in 6 games. They're sixth in the URC and managed to make it to the knockout stages despite a few terrible results recently. Before their game against Zebre, the Bulls were on a four game losing streak.
They will have to change something if they want to beat the leaders of the URC this weekend.
Team News
Leo Cullen has made six changes to his team. The front and second row is completely changed and James Culhane comes in for last week's captain Rhys Ruddock. Ed Byrne will lead the team out. Sam Prendergast starts again at out half.
