Wright return eases pack problems

IT was a week marred by injuries and suspensions but Leinster at least had some positive news to report yesterday when Stan Wright was named in the starting 15 for tomorrow’s Pool Two clash against Edinburgh in Dublin.

The Cook Islander spent most of the week recovering from a neck/back complaint but will complete a front row which also includes Bernard Jackman as well as Cian Healy, who lines out in place of the injured CJ van der Linde.

With Leo Cullen also injured and Malcolm O’Kelly serving a two-week suspension, the second row has been rejigged completely with Trevor Hogan and Devin Toner filling the two berths.
