Leinster captain Jack Conan has warned that Saturday’s return to form against Glasgow will be worthless if the province can’t back it up by producing the goods in next week’s BKT URC final in Croke Park. Leo Cullen’s men produced a statement, six-try performance in overcoming the reigning champions 37-19 at the Aviva Stadium having failed to impress in their last two outings and lost a Champions Cup semi-final to Northampton Saints last month.
