This game from Round 11, which was badly disrupted by snow at the start of the year, has been rearranged for 18th March. Just one match point separates top of the table Leinster and fourth placed Warriors, although Leinster do have a game in hand over their opponents. Any points gained in this game are in effect denied to the opposition, and with only one third of the season left, every result is becoming doubly critical. The Warriors have a poor away record in Dublin, whilst Leinster have not lost at the RDS since September 2008.
The last six clashes between the two teams have all been won by the home side on the day. Glasgow Warriors have never won in eleven previous trips to Dublin to play Leinster in all competitions.
Leinster are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions since a 14-30 defeat against Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade in the Magners League on 6 December. The Leinstermen have not been beaten at the RDS in the Magners League since Munster were the visitors on 28 September 2008.
Glasgow Warriors are without a victory since beating the Dragons 29-25 at Firhill Arena in the European Cup on 15 January. The Warriors' most recent win outside of Scotland in the Magners League was 25-13 at Ulster on 4 December.
