Fitzgerald In For Injured Kearney For Leinster, Ulster Unchanged For Pro 12 Clash
Written 1 year ago by Will O'Callaghan
Rob Kearney is set to miss Leinster’s Guinness Pro 12 playoff semi-final against Ulster tomorrow night.
He’s failed to recover sufficiently from an ankle injury sustained in the Blues’ win over Benetton Treviso in the final round of regular season games.
Luke Fitzgerald comes in on the left-wing with Isa Nacewa starting at full-back and Dave Kearney on the right-wing.
It’s an otherwise unchanged side from the 15 that started against Treviso.
The province’s player of the year Ben Te’o will make his final start at the RDS when he partners Gary Ringrose in the centre.
Birr’s Peter Dooley will make his 20th appearance for Leinster if introduced from the bench.

Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss has retained faith in team that started in the 46-26 win at the Ospreys last time out.
Chris Henry will play for the Ulstermen for the 150th time, they travel to Dublin hoping to make it five wins in-a-row in the Pro 12.
