Cullen: This is a test of our manhood

Leinster have drafted in more of their World Cup contingent for today’s assignment in Lyon, but it was the younger brigade that Leo Cullen had in mind when he described fixtures of this ilk in France as a test of a player’s manhood.

The four-time champions will use a quartet of players for whom this is a first European affair on the continent. Ronan Kelleher continues his education as starting hooker and Max Deegan slots into No.8 in place of Caelan Doris, whom he replaced early on due to a concussion last week.
