Kearney gets chance at full-back

Robert Kearney has finally been given the chance to play in his favoured full-back position for Leinster at home to Connacht in Friday night’s Magners League clash at the RDS (KO: 7.30pm).

The impressive Simon Keogh starts on the left wing with Gordon D'Arcy on the right and Felipe Contepomi continues his centre partnership with Luke Fitzgerald in between.
