Garry Ringrose says Leinster adopted a 'no excuses' approach to Saturday's clash with Racing after all their travel problems.
The Blues were delayed for five hours in Dublin Airport on Friday, then spent an hour and a half in the air over Le Havre before their plane was diverted back to Paris, where they had a one hour wait before taxis took them back to Le Havre.
They only got to their hotel at 11pm on the eve of the match and so missed their Captain's Run at Stade Oceane - but it didn't matter as they crushed Racing for a winning bonus point start to their Champions Cup campaign, clocking up six tries in a 42-10 hammering of the off-colour Top 14 side.
