This is why they're European champs.
Leinster can go to the Blues in their opening Pro 14 clash, come through a tough battle, winning with the minimum 33-32 in the end and, then, they can turn around and recall seven blockbuster names into their team.
On Saturday, at 7.35pm, Scarlets entertain Leinster live on eir Sport and the line-up of stars back in the province's side is frightening.
- Tadhg Furlong
- Cian Healy
- Devin Toner
- Sean Cronin
- Jack Conan
- Robbie Henshaw
- Jordan Larmour
Yep, it's pretty strong.

Leinster have five more Pro 14 games before they start their Champions Cup defence and four of those are taking place in a packed month of September.
The clash with Munster on October 6 is just six days out from the European opener at home to the Wasps.
Every one of Leinster's Pro 14 clashes for the rest of 2018 are being broadcast on eir Sport.
