Leinster can't afford to lose cool against niggly Glasgow - Jack Conan

Glasgow's niggly approach is something that Leinster can't allow to distract them.

That's the view of back row Jack Conan, who insists that the Blues must keep their discipline in the face of any provocation in tomorrow's PRO14 decider.

“I think it does work," said Conan of the Warriors' tactics. “I think it gets under people’s skin and they lose focus. 

“It is quite similar to what happened to us against Munster in December. 

“We went down there and they got in under our skin, distracted us from playing our own game. There was indiscipline from us and that’s why they won. 

“We were only indisciplined because they got under our skin - or we allowed them to get in under our skin.

“Glasgow are quite similar in that sense in that they can be quite in your face.

“If you let it get to you, it's going to distract you from your job and you’re not going to be 100% focused on the job in hand.

“We will obviously go in with the same mindset we had against Munster. 

“We have to not let that phase us, just worry about us, celebrate our small victories and then execute our game plan”.
