Leinster 27 Benetton 27Leo Cullen says the coming week will be a “big” one for Devin Toner, as the Ireland second row prepares to make a well-timed return to fitness. “It is a big week for Dev, he got through all last week, the physios and rehab guys have been working really hard with him so when he does come back he’s in the best possible shape,” said Cullen. For Leinster, a lot of the attacks that get launched from a lineout or even from a restart, come from work he does. Leinster lost Noel Reid and Kearney to injury against a physical Benetton side onSaturday, but Cullen took plenty out of the surprisingly dramatic encounter. “They [back row] were up against a lot of big bodies there, there’s a ton of international experience in that Benetton pack,” said Cullen.
