ROB KEARNEY HAS been ruled out of tonight’s Leinster match and will be replaced by Isa Nacewa.
Kearney was originally named at full-back for the Pro12 derby against Ulster but felt tightness in his hamstring following the captain’s run on Thursday.
“Despite treatment yesterday afternoon and again this morning, Head Coach (Leo) Cullen in consultation with the medical team and with Rob himself, felt it prudent not to risk him for the game this evening,” the province said in a brief statement.
Here’s the revised Leinster team. Kick-off at the RDS is at 7.35pm.
