Byrne Brothers
Both Ross and Harry Byrne are set to start for Leinster as they travel to Cardiff tomorrow.
Harry, the younger of the brothers, will make a rare start at inside centre.
He is just two changes from the side that defeated Benetton last time out as the injured Tommy O’Brien is replaced.
Jordan Larmour returns from the Irish camp to start what will be his 100th appearance for the province.
The 26-year-old replaces Henry McErlean at full-back, while Rob Russell continues on the left wing.
