Leinster boss Leo Cullen has kept All Black Jordie Barrett in reserve for their Champions Cup opener against Premiership outfit Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate on Sunday.

Cullen has managed to fit both Sam Prendergast and Ciarán Frawley into his starting 15 that shows nine changes from the URC win over Ulster last time out. Frawley starts at full-back in the injury absence of Hugo Keenan, while Prendergast will don the 10 jersey, as he has done in green against Fiji and Australia of late.
