While Leo Cullen is dealing with a growing injury list after the November international window, the Leinster head coach is eager to build on the work over the last few weeks of blooding new players in a bid to turn a negative into a positive.

A timely win is needed in Newport on Friday, but they will have to do it with a mix of youth and experience at Rodney Parade tomorrow, just like they did against Zebre last month.
