No casualties for Leinster after Cardiff victory
The Leinster medical team have reported no fresh injury concerns after the province’s 34-3 win over Cardiff Blues on Saturday.
The squad trained in UCD on Monday afternoon ahead of Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 clash against Edinburgh in the RDS (7.45pm) where Schmidt’s men will look to extend their lead at the top of the table and take a step closer to a home semi-final.
Following their qualification to the Heineken Cup semi finals for the fourth successive season, focus turns to the league and it is hoped that Eoin O’Malley will recover from the calf strain which had ruled him out of selection at the weekend.
The last meeting between the sides in October was a high scoring affair with Leinster winning 36-28 that day.
Jonathan Sexton chipped in with 23 points in Murrayfield and has now scored 728 points in 87 appearances for Leinster.
Isa Nacewa, a try scorer in the Aviva Stadium, is now just three appearances short of becoming only the second overseas player (after Felipe Contepomi) to make 100 appearances for the province.
Aside from the usual bumps and bruises there are no major injury concerns as the province face into back-to-back PRO12 ties against fellow European semi finalists with the squad travelling to Belfast to face Ulster next week.
Meanwhile, to celebrate the Easter holidays the Leinster squad will be holding an open session ahead of Friday’s game in the RDS this Wednesday.
