Borders to debut three against Leinster

The Borders are languishing at the bottom of the Celtic League and they will give Ally Warnock, Andy Turnbull and Johnny Weston their first Celtic League starts of the season at Donnybrook tonight.

“We've gained confidence from our last two games. There is now a level of expectation in the squad. Leinster represent a real challenge for us; we have to set our sights higher and higher,” said coach Steve Bates.

The Borders (v Leinster): S Moffat; N Walker, C MacRae, C Hore, A Turnbull; A Warnock, J Weston; P Thomson (Capt), S Scott, B Douglas, S MacLeod, M Blair, A Rennick, W McEntee, S Gray.

Replacements: R Ford, M Parr, C Stewart, G Cross, K Brown, I Fairley, G Morton.
