Malcolm O'Kelly remains confident that Leinster can achieve a result against Wasps this weekend, even without their talismanic captain Brian O'Driscoll.
Michael Cheika's trained this morning without O'Driscoll and with no fresh injury concerns to report, O'Kelly is looking forward to taking on Wasps at Adams Park.
"Obviously Brian is a great player and a great captain and losing someone as talented as him is a blow," said O'Kelly. "But Leinster will survive. Yes, it is disappointing not to have Brian but we are more than a one-man team."
Wasps have been beaten only once at home this season but O'Kelly insists the Irish province have the strength in depth to come away with a result on Saturday.
"Wasps are unquestionably one of the greatest defensive sides in Europe," he told www.leinsterrugby.ie. "It does not really matter to us that the match is being played at Adams Park. With the work going on at Lansdowne Road we would have been away somewhere anyway so the fact that it is there is not that important.
"We are happy enough to be going to Wasps and it has all the makings of being a really great game."
