Cronin debut as Leinster name strong side

LEINSTER have named 10 Irish internationals in their starting line-up for tonight’s clash against Michael Bradley’s Edinburgh in Murrayfield.

Former Connacht player Sean Cronin will make his debut against his former manager, relegating Richardt Strauss to the bench while Mike Ross also returns to the front row following an impressive World Cup.

Luke Fitzgerald, who never made it onto the plane to New Zealand, makes his 90th appearance and moves to the wing in a back three which also includes the Kearney brothers, David and Rob.
