Jackman returns for Leinster

BERNARD JACKMAN returns to the Leinster line-up for tonight’s Magners League clash at the Liberty Stadium (KO: 7.05pm) in the only change from the side that defeated the Scarlets 31-17 last time out.

Gordon D’Arcy continues his centre partnership with Fergus McFadden, with Shane Horgan joining the back three alongside Isa Nacewa and Girvan Dempsey.

In the pack, skipper Shane Jennings and Cameron Jowitt — both try scorers in Llanelli — again start in the back-row alongside Rocky Elsom. Chris Whitaker and Sean O’Brien have recovered from injury to take their places amongst the replacements.
