"They will both be extremely tough matches, against two teams who are still looking for a spot in the playoffs. But playing at our house, we must try 'till the end to catch up a great result".
Bortolami says ahead of the Heineken Cup semi-final in which Leinster will play: "Even if they would rest some internationals, they still remains a high quality team with great players that plays a very good rugby. We must find in ourselves every strength to face up Leinster".
The defensive bonus point conquered in Dublin two months ago could be a starting point for Aironi: "That game gave us a lot of confidence, but it was also one of our top performances. It will not be easy to repeat, but we are ready to do it again. But I think Leinster will arrive with the knife between the teeth because they know we could put on the pitch a great game. It will be vital for us to be very shrewd to defend the first 2-3 phases, otherwise becomes very hard to stop their quality backs".
