Leinster Rugby v Cardiff Blues

Did you know?
• Leinster have a maximum
30 league points after six
rounds of the Guinness
PRO14 and another bonus
point victory would equal
the Championship record of
seven five-point victories in
succession.
• Leinster have not been
beaten by a Welsh region
since they visited Scarlets in
September 2018.
• Cardiff Blues 22-5 victory
at home to Benetton on
Monday ended a run of three
successive defeats.
• The Blues have won just
once away from home in
2020, 16-6 at Zebre on 2
October, whilst their most
recent victory at an Irish
province was at Connacht in
Galway in September 2017.
• Leinster have won their last
14 encounters against Blues
in the Guinness PRO14 since
the Welshmen’s 11-3 victory
at the Cardiff City Stadium in
February 2011, although four
of the last five clashes have
been very close with three
of those being decided by a
solitary point.
• Cardiff Blues only previous
victory on Leinster soil came at
Donnybrook in March 2004.
