Many Leinster fans are unhappy that Wayne Barnes will referee their European Champions Cup semi final against Toulon, but hooker Sean Cronin thinks it could be beneficial.
The English official was in charge when Leinster beat Clermont Auvergne in Bordeaux in the 2012 semi finals, and when they lost to Toulon in the quarter finals last year.
Irish supporters were left angry by Barnes performance in Ireland's Six Nations defeat to Wales last month.
Cronin says Leinster's Irish contingent are very familiar with the way Barnes approaches the game.
