Cullen returns for Leinster

Leinster welcome back captain Leo Cullen and Springbok Ollie Le Roux to the Leinster fold for the Magner's Leauge appointment with the Cardiff Blues at The RDS tomorrow night (KO: 7.30pm).

The rumoured inclusion of Le Roux, on the bench, has come true.

He seems to be the hooker in reserve with prop Cian Healy also named in the replacements.

Cullen will be asked to deliver leadership from the engine room in what is fairly close to the side that will take on Lonsdon Wasps in the Heineken Cup on Saturday week.
