SEAN O’BRIEN RETURNS from injury to captain Leinster in tomorrow night’s Guinness Pro14 match against Scarlets [KO 7.35pm, Sky Sports].
O’Brien has recovered from a hip injury and will captain the team as he gets set to win his 115th cap for the province in a game that has been rescheduled after last weekend’s postponement.
The Carlow native is joined in the back row by Josh Murphy and Jack Conan, who has been released from the Ireland squad to play after coming off the bench in the last Six Nations outing against Wales.
