Back to the future for Contepomi

FELIPE Contepomi is likely to be given the full back's jersey for Leinster in Monday's Celtic League clash with Ulster at Donnybrook (5.05pm).

Argentinian international Contepomi will almost certainly take over from Girvan Dempsey, who is rested, and it is further evidence of his value to the squad as a utility player who can roam between out half, centre and the number 15 position.

Leinster hope to strengthen their challenge for the league title and coach Declan Kidney is certain to name a strong side from a panel of 28 players named yesterday.
