Leinster travel to Cape Town to take on the DHL Stormers this weekend in round 15 of the United Rugby Championship.
The Blues will be desperate to make amends following their heavy defeat to the Lions last weekend.
Although quite a few internationals were absent from the XV, the team that took to the pitch is one that most fans of the URC would have expected to get the job done.

Leinster still hold top spot in the URC as it stands, with Glasgow Warriors hot on their heels. With only three games left in the league, every point is vital in terms of quarter-final standings. However, claiming points away to last years URC runners up is no easy task.
The Stormers will also be hoping to bounce back following a six point defeat to the Ospreys over the weekend in Cape Town.
As it stands they will have to play away for their quarter-final clash if they can retain a spot in the top eight - but will have ambitions of a home draw.
