Leo Cullen happy Leinster’s Irish Lions can handle the schedule

Some Leinster players may face a 12-month season, but Leo Cullen feels his team is well placed to deal with a busy schedule. The Guinness Pro14 resumes for holders when they take on Munster behind closed doors at the Aviva on August 22.

That kicks off a schedule that includes the Champions Cup quarter-finals against the Saracens, which could lead to two more matches to finish the 2019-2020 tournament. The considerable Irish contingent on the team would be involved in two Six Nations games, followed by the international window from November to December, comprising four Tests.

And at the end of next season's club competitions, the third round of the Lions will take place on August 7, against the world champions South Africa. A handful of Leinster players can reasonably expect to play that game, but Cullen believes Ireland's player management system will protect those who get the call on all three fronts.

"We've had a good rest," Cullen, speaking at an Aviva and AsIAm event, told RTÉ Sport about the 177-day break between games for his team.

If we lose a couple of these games, then we're not in the play-offs, so you get breaks that you don't really want. In terms of the conversations with the national coaches, that is handled very well in this country, and that is something huge that this country has over other countries.

The dialogue is very positive, we both want the best for the players. Players have a couple of weeks off at Christmas. We use different windows at different times of the year. There are a lot of breaks within the season.

"It's competitive, so we'll also rotate, cut, and switch a bit. It seems potentially daunting, but it's also very exciting."
