Williams names Leinster team

Leinster coach Matt Williams has trusted Andy Dunne with the pivotal role of out-half for the champions Celtic League opener against Pontypridd on Friday night.

New signing Christian Warner is at inside centre and the rest of the backline has a familiar look to it with star-turns Brian O'Driscoll and Denis Hickie looking to sharpen up ahead of Ireland's meeting with Romania on Saturday week.
