Leinster ring changes for vist to Dragons' lair

Leinster Lions will retain just six players this week for the Celtic League visit to Gwent Dragons tomorrow evening.

Of course, the Ireland squad members are not available for selection.

That leaves John McWeeney, Christian Warner, Brendan Burke and Brian O'Meara, in the back division, and Peter Coyle and Ben Gissing, up front, to lead a young, inexperienced side.

The duties of captain will be taken over by Shane Jennings.

Leinster (v Gwent): J Norton, J McWeeney, C Warner, D Quinlan, B Burke, B O'Meara, B O'Riordan, J Moran, G Hickie, P Coyle, A Kearney, B Gissing, S Crawford, S Jennings (capt), C Potts.

Replacements: S Brophy, D Blaney, N Ronan, R Connolly, J Gowney, D O'Shea, N O'Brien.
