Strong Local Connection As Connacht And Leinster Name Teams For Inter-Pro Derby

Thursday, 2 December 2021 13:21

It takes place at 7:45 tomorrow.

Robbie Henshaw switches to inside centre for Leinster's inter-pro derby with Connacht. 

Leo Cullen recalls several Irish internationals to their matchday including James Lowe, Hugo Keenan, Calen Doris and Josh Van Der Flier. 

Connacht meanwhile make three changes to their team for the clash at the RDS. 

Portlaoise's Eoghan Masterson comes in on the blindside. 

Oisin Dowling and Peter Robb are also included. 

Head Coach Andy Friend says: 

“Last week was pleasing not just to pick up 5 points but to continue our recent level of performances, even with a substantial break in the middle. The challenge for all of us now is to raise our game even more, away to one of the best sides in Europe.
 
We’ll take confidence from our win at the RDS last January, and our travelling supporters will be a big help as always. This game will tell a lot about where we are right now so we’re really looking forward to it.”

Kick-off is at 7:45 tomorrow.
