Corrigan relishes trip to Ulster

Reggie Corrigan insists Leinster have nothing to fear when they take on Magners League leaders Ulster at Ravenhill this Saturday.

That said, the Greystones prop is in no doubt his side will be in for a tough battle. "We know that we're going to face a real battle on Saturday.
 
"Even though Ulster have received greater international recognition recently, there are a core group of players there who have helped form a good strong unit. Rest assured, we won't have any fear going up there but we will certainly respect them.
 
"It's an advantage travelling to Ravenhill as an Irish side because it's not as intimidating as you're so familiar with the players you're playing against," added Corrigan.

"You're playing against your peers, one time international team-mates and you're always looking to put one over your opposite number. That adds a bit of spice to the occasion.
 
"Over the next few weeks you'll certainly see the squad system in use. We're all conscious of the fact that there are injuries in the squad so we all need to take responsibility.
 
"There's talk of three bus loads of supporters travelling up for the game - and that doesn't even include those going up by train and driving independently - so that will give us another boost.
 
"I remember a time that you'd go up to Ravenhill and you wouldn't hear a peep out of anyone as the crowds wouldn't be near the same what they are now Saturday should be a sell-out and we all appreciate the sacrifice that our loyal supporters make."

Corrigan will become the joint second most capped Leinster player alongside his good friend Victor Costello (127 appearances) if he plays on Saturday. Both trail Shane Byrne who holds the record with 135 appearances.
