Head Coach, Steve Tandy, said:

"Off the back of a good win at the Liberty last weekend this will be another real tough test of what is still a youthful and relatively inexperienced group of players. We've changed things about a bit, there are a few more new faces involved on Saturday, and it's going to be interesting to see how they react to coming up against a team from the Aviva that is renowned for their forwards.

"What was particularly pleasing last weekend at the Liberty was the resilience the young group showed, and the character to bounce back from the real disappointment of going behind almost at the final whistle. To stay calm, to know the processes and to work their way up for that try was very satisfying and you could see what it meant to them.

"That's the beauty of this competition, it allows young players to test themselves at a higher level and we've seen people like Hanno, Eli, Tipuric and more earn their stripes in the LV and earning an extended run in the team. That's what we want to see from this group, who is going to put their hand up?"
