Cheika urges new boys to grab their chance

INJURIES and international duty has weakened the Leinster squad for the visit of Edinburgh Gunners to Donnybrook on Sunday.

With Brian O'Driscoll, Ciaran Potts and Bernard Jackman on the treatment table, coach Michael Cheika's selection worries are compounded by the demands of the national team's autumn schedule.

Reggie Corrigan, Malcolm O'Kelly, Gordon D'Arcy, Shane Horgan, Girvan Dempsey, Jamie Heaslip, Kieran Lewis and Robert Kearney are unavailable after a week in Ireland training camp while Felipe Contepomi lines out for Argentina against South Africa in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
