GARRY RINGROSE WILL make his long-awaited return from injury as he starts for Leinster against the Bulls in tomorrow’s URC semi-final at Loftus Versfeld (KO: 3pm, RTÉ1, Premier Sports 1).
The centre has been out for the province since January with a shoulder injury, and comes into the side at 13, with Robbie Henshaw moving inside to 12.
Lock James Ryan captains the team.
Jimmy O’Brien continues at full-back, with Jordan Larmour and James Lowe named on the wings.
Ross Byrne and Jamison Gibson-Park continue their partnership at half-back. The pack is unchanged from last week’s win against Ulster as Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong continue in the front row.
