Henshaw And Dooley Both Starting For Leinster's Champions Cup Opener

Friday, 11 December 2020 at 14:42

Johnny Sexton's on the bench for the clash with Montpellier.

There's midlands involvement in Leinster's game away to Montpellier tomorrow.

Athlone's Robbie Henshaw has been named to start at 13, while Birr prop Peter Dooley has also been included in the starting 15.

Johnny Sexton's on the bench. He has a dead leg from last week's game against Scotland.

Ross Byrne will start at number 10.

 

Before that,

Ulster are the first Irish province in Heineken Champions Cup action tonight as this season's tournament gets underway. 

Dan McFarland has made some late changes to his side that will line out against Toulouse at the Kingspan Stadium from 8-o'clock.

Matty Rea is set to start with Sean Reidy switching to number 7 and Greg Jones on the bench. 

The home side will be without Captain Iain Henderson and out-half Billy Burns through injury. 

Head coach McFarland says not having them is a blow, but he has confidence in the depth of his side. 


Then on Sunday, Munster and Connacht are both in action.
