Joey Carbery to make first start at full-back for Leinster

Joey Carbery will make his first start at full-back for Leinster in their Guinness PRO12 visit to Dragons tonight.

The Auckland-born Athy man was named at out-half for last weekend’s win over Edinburgh but switched to full-back during the game, while he also featured in the position in the recent victory over Treviso.

Last weekend’s win marked Carbery’s first start for the province since injuring his ankle in December, which ruled him out of Joe Schmidt’s squad selections for the first three rounds of the Six Nations.
