Three Lions Included In Leinster Side

The Leinster team to face the Glasgow Warriors in Saturday’s Magners League clash at the RDS (kick-off 7.35pm) has been named.

Brian O’Driscoll, Luke Fitzgerald and Jamie Heaslip have been named in the Leinster starting line-up for the visit of the Scottish side, though their fellow 2009 Lion Rob Kearney misses the game through illness.

Fitzgerald takes his place on the left wing, while Gordon D’Arcy will partner O’Driscoll at centre.
