What has been said in the build-up? .

Leinster who will be aiming to make it two wins from two against the Premiership outfit, will be more interested in adding wins to ensure top spot.

A top placing in qualifying will mean a home seeding all the way to the decider.

And with the final being at Aviva Stadium that will add another source of inspiration after last season's final loss to La Rochelle.

Speaking ahead of the game Leinster's Caelan Doris is motivated by last season final defeat.

Doris said: “That’s definitely another motivator.

“It is one for me in particular, in that the trophies I’ve won and the PRO14 wins were during Covid.

“So the image of having my family and friends there at a final is definitely a motivating factor.

“Sharing that with them, but there is a lot of work to be done before then. It’s easy to get motivated for these games.

“If we perform well, it sets us up to have as many home games as possible. That ultimately helps us get to the final, hopefully.

“Obviously, we got a pretty good result against Gloucester the last time.

“But we are expecting a much tougher challenge, probably both in terms of the team we expect them to field and being away from home.”
