Jennings and Kearney to earn first caps

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN has remained true to his Argentine pre-tour philosophy that he’d endeavour to give as many members of his 30-man squad game-time by making 11 changes and one positional to the side that started last weekend.

Leicester’s Shane Jennings wins an overdue first cap after a rollercoaster season at Welford Road that saw the flanker win a Premiership and EDF Cup double despite coming up short in the Heineken Cup final to Wasps.

Leinster’s Rob Kearney jumps ahead of Luke Fitzgerald on the pecking order for the wing position to win his first cap while Barry Murphy and Eoin Reddan make their first starts.
