Leo Cullen can finally begin to put long term plans together as his Ireland stars return home from Japan this week, albeit down in the dumps.
The Leinster coach can begin to plan for a November return with perhaps the Heineken Cup pinpointed for a return for the likes of Johnny Sexton, Tadhg Furlong and Garry Ringrose among others who'll soon be at his disposal.
But this weekend, Cullen will look to avoid a potential peel on the road in Italy, bringing his inexperienced Leinster side to Zebre as they look to make it four wins and continue their perfect start to the PRO14 season.
