Bath will fancy that they'll 'out-Leinster' Leinster - Brian O'Driscoll

Brian O'Driscoll believes Bath will "fancy themselves" when the English club take on Leinster in the Champions Cup this Saturday.

Our guest presenter was on Off The Ball tonight along with The Irish Times' Gerry Thornley, Trevor Hogan and former England international Neil Back for our Drogheda Roadshow as they previewed this weekend's quarter-final. 

"They'll look at the four quarter-finals and Leinster is probably the most winnable from their perspective, maybe on a par with Racing but certainly going to Toulon or Clermont [will be tough], they'll fancy themselves against a team that plays quite similarly to them that they'll out-Leinster Leinster," said Brian.   

 

Back also gave his assessment of the threat posed by Bath, while Trevor believes the England players in the squad will have an eye on revenge after Ireland soundly beat them at the Aviva during the Six Nations.  

 

Brian also highlighted how multi-phase plays will be vital when it comes to the tactical battle between Leinster and Bath, while the panel ran the rule over the probable line-up Matt O'Connor will pick.
