Sexton fails to make Leinster team

Ireland U20 Dominic Ryan is the only change to the Leinster side to play Edinburgh in Sunday's Magners League clash at The RDS.

The impressive, hard-hitting Ryan gets his chance on the openside in the absence of Shane Jennings. Fit-again Sean O’Brien returns to the bench.

Jonathan Sexton has failed to overcome the jaw injury that has seen him sidelined for the last three weeks, Shaun Berne deputising again.
