Lions boss Andy to keep close eye on out-halves at Aviva
ANDY FARRELL will be at Aviva Stadium with his measuring tape and dividers this evening trying to separate Sam Prendergast and England's Fin Smith.
Both 22-year-old No.10s, having started the season as Lions no-hopers, are very much in with a chance of being selected to travel to Australia when the squad is announced on Thursday.
It makes for an astonishing one-on-one duel amid what's likely to be a highly-charged, fast-paced Champions Cup semi-final.
Last season's semi between the same sides at Croke Park saw a James Lowe hat-trick put the Blues in control after 43 minutes - only for them to wilt and spend the last six minutes protecting a three-point lead as they ran out 20-17 winners.
"One of the learnings from us from that game is the need to continue to play and to attack the game," said Leinster skipper Caelan Doris.
