Jacques Nienaber, former World Cup-winning coach with South Africa, has joined Leinster as a senior coach. He anticipates a competitive match against Ulster in the upcoming United Rugby Championship game at the Aviva Stadium. Leinster, currently in top form, recently secured a significant victory over Glasgow Warriors in the Investec Champions Cup.
Ulster, despite a challenging start to the season, has won their last three URC matches and climbed to sixth place in the table. The upcoming clash is expected to be intense and physical, with both teams well aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses. Leinster, missing key players due to injury, have displayed exceptional form this season, winning 19 out of 20 matches in the URC and Europe. Nienaber acknowledges the quality of the opposition and emphasizes the need to maintain focus and respect in facing Ulster and other formidable opponents.
