Reggie Corrigan insists that Leinster will have nothing to fear when they take on Ulster in Ravenhill on Saturday.

Speaking ahead of the top-of-the-table Magners League clash, the Greystones prop commented: 'We know that we're going to face a real battle on Saturday.

'Even though Ulster have received greater international recognition recently, there are a core group of players there who have helped form a good strong unit. Rest assured, we won't have any fear going up there but we will certainly respect them.

'It's an advantage travelling to Ravenhill as an Irish side because it's not as intimidating as you're so familiar with the players you're playing against. You're playing against your peers, one time international team-mates and you're always looking to put one over your opposite number.

'That adds a bit of spice to the occasion.

'Over the next few weeks you'll certainly see the squad system in use. We're all conscious of the fact that there are injuries in the squad so we all need to take responsibility.'

Corrigan will become the joint second most capped Leinster player of all time alongside his good friend Victor Costello (127 appearances), if he plays on Saturday.

Shane Byrne holds the record with 135 appearances.
