Leaders Leinster welcome back Irish quartet for visit of Scarlets

With a combined total of nine internationals released to them from Six Nations camps this week, both Leinster and Scarlets will be boosted by a plethora of faces keen to make an impression on international coaches at the RDS tonight.

Sean Cronin, David Kearney, Fergus McFadden and Eoin Reddan all return to the Irish province’s starting line-up after their involvement in Ireland’s last game against Wales just under a fortnight ago.

Also included in the 23 is back-row Dominic Ryan who will be hoping to end a three-and-a-half month absence through injury but that doesn’t complete the list of those players with half an eye on the international front.
