Rugby: Leinster unchanged for Cardiff encounter

IN an unsurprising move, considering their demolition job on Biarritz last weekend, Leinster coach Gary Ella has named an unchanged starting line-up and substitute’s bench for Friday's night’s trip across the water to play Cardiff at The Arms Park.

As it stands, the only injury worries concern the Irish international trio of Girvan Dempsey, Brian O’Driscoll and Reggie Corrigan, who are all suffering with a dose of the ‘flu.

The players were told to stay away from training by the Leinster management until Thursday so that the condition is not passed on to the rest of the squad, but there is believed to be no major worry about any of the three missing Friday’s game.
