Harry Byrne has been selected to start at No.10 for Leinster’s Champions Cup pool tie away to Leicester Tigers on Friday evening, which means Sam Prendergast switches to the bench.

Prendergast, Andy Farrell’s main choice at out-half for Ireland for the last 13 months, has assumed the same role with his province, but Byrne has been in impressive form this season and gets the nod this time.
