Returning internationals strengthen Leinster squad

The Leinster squad to face Edinburgh in Friday night's RaboDirect PRO12 encounter at Murrayfield (kick off: 7.30pm) has been bolstered by the return of several International players from World Cup duty.

Joe Schmidt can call upon the likes of Isaac Boss, Sean Cronin, Leo Cullen, Shane Jennings, Fergus McFadden, Eoin Reddan and Jonathan Sexton for the trip to the Scottish capital and they could be included in the team which will be named on Thursday lunchtime.
