Three changes as Leo Cullen names side to face Munster at Croke Park

The Leinster Rugby team, proudly sponsored by Bank of Ireland, to take on Munster Rugby in Round 4 of the BKT United Rugby Championship tomorrow at Croke Park (KO: 5.45pm, live on RTÉ 2 and Premier Sports 1) has been named by Head Coach Leo Cullen.

There are three changes to the starting XV from last weekend's 35-5 win over Benetton in Treviso.

James Ryan returns to the side after starting the first two rounds of the season. He will lock down with new signing RG Snyman, who joined from Munster over the summer.

Lee Barron comes into the starting team, with Andrew Porter and Tadhg Furlong filling out the rest of the front row.

There are no changes to the back row from last Saturday as Caelan Doris captains the side again from the number eight position. Jack Conan retains his place after a player of the match performance in Italy, with Josh van der Flier once again named at openside flanker.

Liam Turner comes in on the wing as the only change to the backline, as James Lowe and Hugo Keenan keep their places.

Ciarán Frawley is once again named at out-half after his try-scoring exploits in Treviso, with Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half.

Jamie Osborne continues his run of starting every game so far this season as he pairs up with Garry Ringrose in the centres.

On the bench, Gus McCarthy slots right back into the matchday 23 following his exploits in South Africa with Emerging Ireland. Cian Healy will look to extend his appearance record even further while Thomas Clarkson will be waiting to make his fourth appearance of the campaign.

Ryan Baird once again takes the number 19 shirt, with Max Deegan offering back row cover.

Luke McGrath provides the reinforcements at scrum-half, while Ross Byrne is joined on the bench by his brother Harry.
