Michael Cheika expects a tough match
Leinster coach Michael Cheika thinks Glasgow will push his team all the way in saturday's Heineken Cup match at the RDS (ko 5.15pm).

"In the two matches that we've played this season they have really challenged us. The players are definitely aware of that. They (Glasgow) play an expansive game and they also have a good kicking game.

"They pushed Ulster to the limit last weekend and will be looking to do the same to us on Saturday.

"We have both our eyes on the game this week. Our focus is on nothing else than Glasgow at the moment.

"Our team is a work in progress. We've got to put right our performance in Llanelli last weekend against Glasgow.

"Glasgow are a very competitive side. They're physically big and they fight for every ball on the ground and in the air.

"We need to develop the consistency to ensure that we can play the game at the highest level. But out of our six defeats this season, four have been by two points so it's about playing for the full length of time."
