Liam Toland expects Leinster to target Bath at the set piece and maul during tomorrow's Champions Cup quarter-final clash.

The former Leinster captain will be part of our Off The Ball live commentary team alongside Keith Wood, Gavin Duffy and Dave McIntyre tomorrow and tonight he joined us to preview the game and run the rule over the team picked by Matt O'Connor.

"I think Leinster might err on the side of the set piece and I'd expect the Leinster scrum to be much stronger than Bath. David Wilson is out for Bath so that should de-power their scrum," he said, adding that Leinster must do their best to stymie the influence of Bath's back three and midfield.

"I like the look of Leinster's maul as well all season. The Bath defensive lineout maul is a little bit shaky at times. Toulouse managed to do a lot of damage. So I think if we are to expect an Ireland versus England game from the Aviva a few weeks, this will be a different game and very different skillsets throughout the sides."
