Robbie Henshaw Named To Start For Leinster This Weekend

Friday, 9 January 2026 12:53

Leo Cullen's side take on La Rochelle tomorrow.

Leinster have made seven changes to their team for this weekend's Champions Cup clash against La Rochelle at the Aviva Stadium.

Joshua Kenny handed his European debut on the wing, with Tommy O’Brien retained from the side that thrashed Connacht, on the opposite flank and Ciarán Frawley continuing at full-back.

Athlone's Robbie Henshaw returns to the starting XV after sustaining a finger injury during their side's victory over Munster last month. 

Sam Prendergast and Jamison Gibson-Park are chosen at half-back.

Up front, Paddy McCarthy comes in at loosehead alongside Dan Sheehan and Thomas Clarkson, while James Ryan returns to the engine room to partner Joe McCarthy.

Caelan Doris captains the side from number eight, with Jack Conan and Josh van der Flier completing a powerful and mobile back row.
