Heineken Cup: Leinster team draft in Brennan

Celtic League champions Leinster have drafted in Trevor Brennan to their back row for Saturday evening’s Heineken Cup match at Newcastle.

Brennan replaces Eric Miller at number six following Miller’s dismissal in the Celtic League final victory over Munster at Lansdowne Road last month. Miller received a five-week suspension and will not be available again until the quarter-finals on the weekend of January 25-27, for which Leinster have already qualified.
