"Europe has to be shelved now" - Brian O'Driscoll on Leinster's need to re-focus on other targets

Brian O'Driscoll believes Leinster need to re-focus their energies on the Guinness Pro 12 as the chances of Champions Cup progression recedes into the distance. 

Brian was on Off The Ball tonight as Leinster and Ulster go head-to-head in a Pro 12 derby and the ex-Leinster legend says the province need to put focus on the league.

"To be honest with you, Europe has to be shelved now. The likelihood of them getting out of that pool is about 3 per cent and I saw the odds have only gone to 33/1. The bookies haven't been overly generous there," he said.

"They need to now focus on the Pro 12 and getting back to winning ways and play their way into a bit of form. A good hard-fought victory tonight would be fantastic." 

Brian also analysed Ben Te'o's defensive approach, where Ulster are at now, Leinster's areas to work on at ruck-time and Jonny Sexton's form.
