Jamie Osborne, Tommy O'Brien and Jordan Larmour all back from injury
- 195
The Leinster Rugby team, proudly sponsored by Bank of Ireland, to take on Munster Rugby in Round 9 of the BKT United Rugby Championship tomorrow evening in Thomond Park (KO: 7.35pm - live on TG4, RTÉ Radio and Premier Sports) has been named by Head Coach, Leo Cullen.
Captain Caelan Doris is back into the mix this week as Cullen makes a number of changes from the squad that beat Connacht Rugby in front of nearly 34,000 at Aviva Stadium last weekend.
Jamie Osborne makes a welcome return from injury and starts at full back, with Tommy O'Brien and Jimmy O'Brien onto the wings.
Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose form a familiar looking partnership in the centre, with Luke McGrath and Sam Prendergast in the half backs.
In the pack, Jack Boyle, Rónan Kelleher and Rabah Slimani are the front row selected by Cullen, with Joe McCarthy and James Ryan back this week in the engine room.
Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier - making his 150th appearance in the blue of Leinster - and Doris complete the starting XV for Cullen.
