Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier return from short-term injury to bolster Leinster for their URC title shot in Saturday’s URC Grand Final against the Bulls at Croke Park.

The Ireland duo’s comebacks from respective calf and hamstring issues bring Leinster’s 2025 British & Irish Lions representation to 10 of their 12-strong contingent set to tour Australia this summer as Leo Cullen’s men bid to end a four-year silverware drought. Yet Hugo Keenan and Tadhg Furlong remain absent from the Leinster matchday squad, each with a calf injury.
