“There were lads who were getting their first chance to play for Leinster, like John (McKee), (Brian) Deeny, getting their first cap and being surrounded by the environment for the whole week with small breaks in the evening. “It was a really good opportunity for them to get comfortable in the environment and you saw it in their performances.” Another of those young players given the chance to showcase his ability was Alex Soroka, Player of the Match in the defeat to DHL Stormers. In his post-match interview, the Clontarf man spoke about the criticism of the chosen squad and widely-held opinion that they would simply be fodder for the southern hemisphere sides when they arrived in Durban and Cape Town. And Penny elaborates on Soroka’s points. Despite defeat, it was the unspoken motivation to hold their own, show exactly why they are in the position they are in by going toe-to-toe with fancied home teams. “We didn’t talk about it as a group but we knew that most people probably didn’t have faith in us down there. We’re all good athletes, we’ve all trained together week in, week out for the last year. “We knew we had the capability to go down there and put on a performance. And you’ll always see that with Leinster teams, even when the internationals are away, we’ll still have good performances in us. We had confidence that we could go down to South Africa and get two wins.” While it wouldn’t work out like that, it was still job done. And done well. So, once again, as the flanker said, motivation will be high this weekend as the southern neighbours sit in the red corner at Aviva Stadium. Tensions are always high between the provinces and with a home quarterfinal within Munster’s grasp, Penny and Co will be hoping to put that out of arm’s reach. While Munster have suffered some injuries in the pack, Penny states that www.leinsterrugby.ie | 19
