Did you know?

The only previous time that Leinster have begun a Guinness PRO14 season with three successive wins since 2003/04 was in 2017 when they went on to take the title.

Leinster’s only defeat at the RDS Arena since April 2018 was to Glasgow in April 2019.

The Leinstermen’s recent record against Scottish opponents in the Championship is won two, lost four.

Edinburgh also have a 100per cent winning record after two rounds but have not won their opening three matches since 2015/16.

Edinburgh’s only victory over an Irish province in any competition for the last twelve months was against Leinster at BT Murrayfield in the Guinness PRO14 in March.

The last five meetings between the two sides have all been won by the home team on the day whilst Edinburgh’s most recent victory in Dublin was at Donny brook in November 2005.
