Warner fails to make Leinster team

Former England U21 out-half Matt Leek is to win his second Heineken Cup cap tonight, and second start for Leinster at Lansdowne Road this season, following the resurfacing of a quad injury to Christian Warner this afternoon.

It means Leinster will begin tonight’s game against the Cardiff Blues in Dublin, with five forwards on their replacements bench, with Brian O’Riordan and David Quinlan the only backs.
