JOE

The Leinster team to face Edinburgh in Sunday’s Magners League clash at the RDS has been named.

Brian O’Driscoll partners Gordon D’Arcy at centre in an unchanged backline which sees Eoin Reddan continue his half-back partnership with Shaun Berne.

In the pack, Dominic Ryan is the only change and the former Gonzaga College wing forward will make his third Leinster appearance in the back-row alongside Kevin McLaughlin and Jamie Heaslip.

Leo Cullen captains the side and Sean O’Brien has been named on an extended replacements bench alongside the likes of Malcolm O’Kelly and Girvan Dempsey, which will be reduced closer to kick off.

Bernard Jackman was not considered for selection due to a knee injury and the Ireland hooker is rated extremely doubtful for Leinster’s Magners League run in.

Kick-off on Sunday is at 6.15pm.

Leinster team v Edinburgh:
Rob Kearney, Shane Horgan, Brian O’Driscoll, Gordon D’Arcy, Isa Nacewa, Shaun Berne, Eoin Reddan, Cian Healy, John Fogarty, Stan Wright, Leo Cullen, Nathan Hines, Kevin McLaughlin, Dominic Ryan, Jamie Heaslip.
