Gibson to make Heineken debut against Leinster

Daryl Gibson takes his Heineken Cup bow for tournament newcomers Bristol Shoguns in Dublin on Friday night after travelling halfway around the world in search of new challenges.

Bristol tackle Leinster at Donnybrook with the 19-times capped All Black and Canterbury Crusaders centre declaring: "I've joined Bristol because I want to continue playing rugby at a competitive level and I also want to experience a different style of rugby."
