O’Kelly in Leinster Return

Ireland’s most capped player, Malcolm O’Kelly, has been named in the Leinster squad for the weekend Magners League clash with Connacht.

The Leinster squad to face Connacht in Saturday’s Magners League clash at Donnybrook (KO: 5.15pm) has been named.

Malcolm O’Kelly returns to the squad after suffering an injury in the Heineken Cup clash against Gloucester in January and he is joined by returning internationals Shane Horgan, Gordon D’Arcy, Denis Hickie, Girvan Dempsey and Trevor Hogan.

Jonathan Sexton, Luke Fitzgerald, Bernard Jackman, Keith Gleeson and Jamie Heaslip – who were all try-scorers in Leinster’s 40-21 victory over Treviso last week – are also included.

A limited number of tickets for Saturday’s game which is expected to be a sell out are available online at www.leinsterrugby.ie and from Spar (Donnybrook) and the Leinster Rugby Store (Donnybrook).

The team will be named on Friday lunchtime.
