Cheika to ring Leinster changes

LEINSTER will continue their early-season rotation policy against the Ospreys at the RDS this evening (7.35pm) with Michael Cheika having made five changes to the side that swamped Edinburgh in Dublin last week.

Captain Leo Cullen comes in for his first appearance of the season after injury. He will be partnered in the second row by young Devin Toner who impressed in the season opener in Cardiff and as a replacement last week.

Sean O’Brien is the third change to the pack, coming in at open-side flanker. Shane Horgan returns to his habitual berth on the right wing while the versatile Isa Nacewa has been chosen at 10.
