Clark relishing Leinster challenge

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Although the Saints and Leinster have come up against each other in pre-season over the past three summers, Saturday’s game at a sold-out Franklin’s Gardens is the first competitive meeting since the 2011 final.


That unforgettable Millennium Stadium occasion came at the end of Clark’s first season as a Saint. The flanker played in Cardiff and says that the back-to-back games against the Irish province could represent an exciting two weekends of action.


“Leinster are a proper team,” he told the Saints podcast. “They’ll be coming to town to do a proper job and perform. It’s a good European rivalry for us with what happened in the final. They’re a good side and great to play against.


“They play a good brand of rugby and pose a lot of challenges. So it’s up to us to prepare for them and negate them in the game. It’s going to be a real test of how we do things, a test of our preparation and whether we can execute that on the day.


“As a rugby player it’s great that you’re going to be challenged in a tough environment with a great side full of top players.


“It’s going to be an exciting couple of weeks.”
