Leinster ‘A’ Side Named for Clash with Munster ‘A’
The Leinster ‘A’ team to face Munster ‘A’ in Wednesday afternoon’s challenge match in Donnybrook (KO: 2.30pm) has been named.
Stephen Keogh captains a strong team which includes a number of players who have impressed for the Senior team in recent weeks. Sean O’Brien starts in the back-row and is joined in the pack by the likes of Ireland international second row Trevor Hogan and Ireland ‘A’ duo Ronan McCormack and John Fogarty.
In the backline there’s an exciting centre partnership in Eoin O’Malley and Fergus McFadden, with Isa Nacewa starting at out-half after making his comeback from injury last weekend in Castres.
Simon Keogh, Gary Brown and Felix Jones form a pacey looking back three.
*There is free entry for Leinster season ticket holders upon presentation of their membership card.
Leinster ‘A’ face the Ireland Under-20s in Donnybrook on Monday, December 22nd (KO: 4pm) before completing their Christmas schedule with another home clash against Ulster on Monday, December 29th (KO: 2.30pm).
