Luke Fitzgerald and Sean O’Brien have both been pencilled into the Leinster squad for Friday’s pre-season friendly against London Wasps at Donnybrook (kick-off 7pm).
Sean O’Brien and Devin Toner return to the Leinster squad for Friday’s game, following their respective injury-enforced absences, and they are joined by Luke Fitzgerald who has been sidelined since injurying his knee against Australia last November.
Fergus McFadden is also included after missing Ireland’s summer tour to Australia and New Zealand due to a fractured jaw.
