Declan Cusack forms a new-look half back partnership with veteran scrumhalf Peter Stringer while Marcus Horan comes into the frontrow alongside Mike Sherry and Ex-UCC tighthead Stephen Archer.

Donnacha Ryan links up with Mick O’Driscoll in the second row with Tommy O’Donnell, Niall Ronan and Denis Leamy forming the backrow.
