Hickie back as Leinster search for first win

DENIS HICKIE will make his first competitive start of the season in tonight’s Magners League against Cardiff Blues at Donnybrook.

Leinster languish near the bottom of the table, but have played just one match, whilst some of their rivals have had up to three outings. It’s clearly a false placing and it can be rectified by winning tonight.

Leinster lost the opening fixture to Edinburgh, but now have an opportunity to atone for that with Hickie’s return. They should also be boosted by the availability of Keith Gleeson and Reggie Corrigan.
