Leinster Rugby coach Jacques Nienaber calls the current season 'like no other' due to the RDS redevelopment forcing the team to play at Aviva Stadium. He highlights the privilege of playing at iconic venues like Croke Park and Aviva Stadium for his players. Leinster are enjoying a successful season, leading the Vodacom URC with a strong winning streak, and face Connacht in an important interprovincial derby.
Leinster’s World Cup-winning coach Jacques Nienaber says they are privileged to be experiencing a season like no other.
They have won nine out of nine in all competitions and lead the Vodacom URC by seven points going into Saturday evening’s Round 8 meeting with Connacht. “The same with our players getting the opportunity of playing at the Aviva. It’s such a sacred ground, such an unbelievable ground. “That just shows how seriously our supporters take this interprovincial derby and we are taking it very seriously too.”
“If you look at Connacht, they really had two stirring performances in Europe and they will come in with a lot of confidence. They will be ready to go.“So it’s going to be a tough game for us. We are preparing for a big one, a big night. It’s not going to be ‘Lets pitch up and accumulate the points’.
“Our programme will be the same, there will be the same amount of respect shown to any team. There is no different approach from us in terms of the amount of preparation we will put on.”
