Leinster not complacent ahead of Montpellier clash - Robbie Henshaw

Leinster centre Robbie Henshaw reckons that his team will face an uphill task when they take on Montpellier in their upcoming European Champions Cup clash in Dublin on Friday.

With 16 points from four games, a win for Leinster can make them the first team to qualify for the play-offs but it will not be an easy task for them against the second placed Montpellier, who have 11 points.

In the previous season, Leinster lost five out of their six games - a complete contrast to their performance in this season.

Henshaw is wary of the challenge ahead and is hoping to seal the play-off spot with a confident performance on Friday.

"We know we are going to have our work cut out and it's going to be a tough game. We will need to be 100 per cent switched on.

"Montpellier are a massive side and have a lot of skill across the board.

"Their pack is probably the biggest we've played against this year, so we need to be strong in defence, razor-sharp in attack and keep the ball moving around the pitch.

"It's going to be a physical game, but we need to control it. Obviously, that starts with our physicality in defence and putting in some big shots."

Leinster have made five changes to their line-up with starts for full-back Isa Nacewa, props Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong, plus number eight Jamie Heaslip.
