Former England coach Stuart Lancaster has shown his Leinster players the Scarlets' hard-hitting post-match media interviews after their heavy defeat to Munster in a bid to get his team fired up.
The Irish province face Dwayne Peel's men on Saturday, a weekend after the Llanelli-based region lost 43-13 to a second-string Munster team who scored six tries despite three Lions and 11 internationals playing in the Scarlets team.
"Devastated" prop Rob Evans was left on the verge of tears post-match after the "embarrassing" defeat, while coach Peel was shell-shocked. You can see their full comments here.
They face a daunting task this weekend in Leinster, who are four-in-a-row champions on a three-game winning streak at home.
Leinster scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park told RTÉ Sport of the videos: "As individuals, we don’t really watch them as a team but I think most of the lads would have seen it.
"The Rob Evans one, Stuart [Lancaster] pulled that up. It stood out a little bit. They are obviously hurting after what they felt was a lacklustre performance.
"There’s no doubt there’ll be a backlash this week.
"I suppose you’d like it to be the other way around [Scarlets putting in a better performance] but it’s not something we can control.
"We just have to do our best and prepare accordingly so we can put our best performance out there on Saturday."

Backs coach Felipe Contepomi added: "We can definitely expect a bounce from the Scarlets," he predicted.
"They are going to come full steam and I think it wasn’t a great performance from them, at their home.
"The best way when you have a bad performance is to play well the following week. That’s how high-performance sport goes, it’s like a roller coaster.
"You can be [high] one week and [low] the next so we need to make sure we prepare properly. I’m expecting a really gutsy performance as well, to all that quality adding a fair bit of attitude it will always be a hard game for us."
