Scott Penny has welcomed the return of some experienced faces from injury lay-offs as Leinster resume their United Rugby Championship campaign with a trip to Cardiff tomorrow evening (Cardiff Arms Park, kick-off 7pm). Weeks like these where we don’t have our full complement of players, I think the young lads can really look to these lads for leadership on the pitch,” Penny remarked. “I don’t think Cardiff are reflecting the Welsh international team at all. They’re really well-coached, great attack, really physical. We know what they’re all about and they’ve been like this over the last few years,” Penny continued of their upcoming opponents.
