Leinster’s Irish duo set for Cardiff trip

LEINSTER will have plenty of experience to help guide them through an expected tough Magners League experience against Cardiff Blues at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday (4pm).

Shane Jennings and Eoin Reddan from Ireland’s squad at Twickenham last week are included. Jennings will lead the team alongside experienced players such as Malcolm O’Kelly, Stan Wright, CJ van der Linde and Girvan Dempsey.

With Shaun Berne and Isa Nacewa to add further strength, Leinster will feel confident with a panel that is a real mix of youth and experience – recent debutant Andrew Conway and Ireland Under-20 captain Rhys Ruddock are named in the provisional squad which will be reduced to the required number tomorrow.
