Three Changes For Leinster

The Leinster team to face the Glasgow Warriors in the Magners League at Hughenden on Friday (KO: 7.30pm) has been named.

There are three changes to the starting line-up from the side that were defeated last weekend. Christian Warner will partner Gordon D’Arcy at centre, Brian Blaney is included in the front row, with Cameron Jowitt starting in the back-row alongside Keith Gleeson and Jamie Heaslip.

Felipe Contepomi, the Magners League’s top points scorer with 137, captains the side.

Kevin McLaughlin and Luke Fitzgerald are named on a strong-looking bench.

Both Bernard Jackman and Stephen Keogh miss the game through injury.
