Leo Cullen backs Ross Byrne to bounce back after missing out on Ireland squad

Leo Cullen is adamant Ross Byrne will park the disappointment of being omitted from Joe Schmidt’s Six Nations squad and guide Leinster to the win against Wasps that would guarantee the province a home quarter-final in the Heineken Champions Cup.

The number 10 will once again start in place of the injured Jonathan Sexton — who Cullen claimed yesterday is not a doubt for Ireland’s clash against England on February 2nd — having shone during last week’s 29-13 defeat of Toulouse at the RDS.
