Jordie Barrett is set to make his first Leinster start when his new side face Clermont in the Champions Cup at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening. The All Black made an impactful try scoring appearance off the bench as Leinster defeated Bristol last weekend.

Barrett, who will line out at fullback in place of Ciaran Frawley, is one of five charges to the Leinster team. Captain Caelan Doris comes in to the back row while Liam Turner starts on the wing. There are two switches in the front row with Andrew Porter and Thomas Clarkson both getting the nod to start.
