Cullen returns to boost Leinster
The iconic Cullen lines out for the first time this season at lock alongside Mike McCarthy. Matt O’Connor has been given access to several members of the Ireland squad involved in the recent Guinness series, although Brian O’Driscoll is still ruled out with concussion.
There’s a blend of youth and experience across the team with the province’s most capped player Gordon D’Arcy partnering Brendan Macken at centre.
