LEINSTER HAVE MADE five changes to the team that defeated Northampton Saints as they face Ospreys in the URC tomorrow evening at the RDS (KO: 7:35pm, live on TG4 and Premier Sport).
Head coach Leo Cullen has named Jimmy O’Brien, Luke McGrath, Rónan Kelleher, Jason Jenkins and Will Connors in the starting lineup.
Ciarán Frawley starts at full-back with Jordan Larmour and O’Brien on the wings.
Jamie Osborne and Robbie Henshaw maintain their partnership in the centre, with McGrath joining Ross Byrne in the half-backs, for the first time since the March win over Zebre.
