Leinster captain Jamie Heaslip is refusing to be fazed by Leinster's lengthy injury list as they prepare for their European Champions Cup Pool 2 opener against Wasps at the RDS.
Prop Marty Moore is the latest long term absentee following shoulder surgery. Big ball carriers Cian Healy and Sean O'Brien won't return until the new year. Backs Fergus McFadden, Dave Kearney and Luke Fitzgerald are still on the road to recovery.
Heaslip can't see a repeat of Leinster's 5 try 48-28 victory over Wasps in the Amlin Challange Cup 18 months ago, but thinks the Province have the strength and depth to get through the current crisis.
