Latest posts by Will Matthews (see all)
Leinster Rugby Head Coach Leo Cullen has made eight changes to the Leinster XV that will take on Edinburgh in the Guinness PRO12 tomorrow evening.
A number of Irish players have been available to Cullen. In total there are 11 internationals in the Leinster XV.
Joey Carberry starts at ten and is partnered at halfback by Luke McGrath. Jack Conan also starts at eight and interestingly Josh van der Flier starts tomorrow night, perhaps suggesting that Peter O’Mahony is in line to at least take a spot on the bench in place of the young seven for Ireland’s Six Nations clash against France.
