Forde included on Leinster bench

Mattie Forde, one of the players at the centre of Chris Johnson's controversial sending-off in the recent International Rules Series, has been named on the bench for Leinster's M Donnelly Interprovincial football final clash with Ulster.

Australian co-captain Johnson was handed down a five-match ban from the Series after pleading guilty to two striking charges against Forde and Philip Jordan from the second Test, at today's joint AFL-GAA Tribunal in Melbourne.
