Leinster return to European rugby action later today when they take on French side Racing 92 (1pm)
This will be Leinster's first game since losing the previous final against another French side La Rochelle in May.
Leo Cullen's have won all of their 9 fixtures in the United Rugby Championship this year, but face a difficult test when they travel to France on Saturday.
The Top 14 side lie in second place in their domestic table
The likes of French international Gael Fickou, Finn Russell and others will provide a stern test this weekend.
One of the most interesting aspects of the game will be Stuart Lancaster facing off against the team he will be joining next year.
Lancaster has agreed to join the French giants at the end of the season.
Whatever happens it promises to be another European cracker.
Here are more teams for the game later today.
