Leinster have included former Vodacom Bulls lock Jason Jenkins in their starting lineup to face the DHL Stormers in a top-of-the-table Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash in Dublin on Friday.
Despite missing a host of Ireland’s Six Nations stars, Leinster have still been able to name a strong matchday-23 as they look to stretch their 15-game unbeaten run this season.Former Vodacom Bulls and Munster second rower Jenkins has been named in a pack that is unchanged from the side that claimed a bonus point win over Edinburgh in the Scottish capital earlier this month.
The only personell change from that match sees 24-year-old Rob Russell replace the injured Jamie Osborne on the wing. There are two positional changes in the backline, as Ciarán Frawley moves from fullback to inside centre, with Jordan Larmour moving from the wing to fullback. Leinster have welcomed 29-year-old Ireland international Ed Byrne back from injury and the loosehead prop is set to make his first appearance of the year from the bench.15 Jordan Larmour, 14 Rob Russell, 13 Liam Turner, 12 Ciaran Frawley, 11 Dave Kearney, 10 Harry Byrne, 9 Luke McGrath, 8 Max Deegan, 7 Scott Penney, 6 Rhys Ruddock , 5 Jason Jenkins, 4 Ross Molony, 3 Michael Alaalatoa, 2 John McKee, 1 Michael Milne.
Subs: 16 Lee Baron, 17 Ed Byrne, 18 Vakhtang Abdaladze, 19 Brian Deeny, 20 Will Connors, 21 Nick McCarthy, 22 Charlie Tector, 23 Ben Brownlee.
