Leinster’s Reddan wary of wounded Saints
Reddan was one of the try scorers last weekend as his team ran riot at Franklin’s Gardens, claiming a 40-7 Heineken Cup Pool 1 victory.
Northampton and Leinster will lock horns once again on Saturday, with Jim Mallinder’s men desperate to make amends for that home horror show.

“When the score goes like that, protection mode kicks in and you know the potential downfalls of that,” said the Ireland international.
“We’ve all obviously played a lot of Heineken Cup now and we know the nature of the back-to-back games and we also know the nature of when you’ve got a wounded animal, especially a big, strong wounded animal back in Dublin next week.
“There’s 40,000 tickets sold already and everyone knows it’s going to be a big game and that kind of atmosphere and crowd, it’ll be another one-off occasion like last Saturday.”
