Damage caused by Welsh side's kicking game a painful reminder to Blues ahead of quarter-final tie
LEINSTER fans may have skimmed over their defeat at Scarlets last month.
Why not? The Blues didn't have any of their 11 centrally contracted players, Jordie Barrett, James Lowe, Sam Prendergast, RG Snyman or Jack Conan and fielded six academy players in the matchday squad.
Besides, the 35-22 loss wasn't out of place when compared to the similar type of late-April defeats suffered with weakened line-ups the season before.
Yet Leo Cullen was quick to flag that his side had been posed a tactical problem they failed to solve - Scarlets' kicking game was superb, using four different players to deliver confusion with the boot.
