WATCH: Leo Cullen names Leinster team to take on Toulon

Head coach Leo Cullen has announced the Leinster XV to will face Toulon in Pool 5 of the Champions Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Leinster had an unexpected rest last weekend, with their game against the Glasgow Warriors falling victim to the elements and Storm Desmond so it is two weeks since they last played.

In the pack it's a completely new front row and Fergus McFadden, Rob Kearney and Isaac Boss all return to the backs.

Kearney starts at full back for only his second game this season. He is joined by Fergus McFadden on the right wing while Isa Nacewa captains the side from the left.

Ben Te'o starts at outside centre, with Luke Fitzgerald alongside him in the midfield partnership, while Isaac Boss joins Johnny Sexton in the half backs.
