Leinster have added to their pre-season schedule of matches with the inclusion of a September 15 friendly against Italian side Padova at UCD.
Leinster played Padova in a mid-season friendly two seasons ago, defeating the Super 10 outfit 22-12 in the lead-up to their famous Heineken Cup quarter-final victory over Toulouse.
A limited number of tickets for the September 15 tie will be on sale via the Ticketmaster website from next Monday (September 3). Ticket Prices are as follows - €15 for adults and €5 for school children.
These tickets are for an unreserved stand. Entry is not included in Leinster Season Ticket packages.
