Quartet return for Leinster

Leo Cullen, Shane Horgan, Bernard Jackman and Jonathan Sexton will make the first starts of their seasons for Leinster against London Irish in Friday night's pre-season friendly in Donnybrook (kick off: 7pm).

Fergus McFadden and Shaun Berne will make an interesting proposition at centre with Isa Nacewa moving to the wing after a stint at centre in last weekend’s 38-10 victory over Rugby Nice Côte d'Azur.
