Brian O’Driscoll, Leo Cullen and Brad Thorn will all start for Leinster in tomorrow’s Rabo Pro-12 match against the Ospreys at the RDS.
O’Driscoll will make his first appearance of the season for the province after making a quicker-than-expected recovery from his shoulder surgery and he’ll be partnered in the centre by Fergus McFadden.
Cullen also returns after Achilles surgery and he’ll be joined by World Cup winner, Thorn, who’ll be making his debut for the province after his arrival on a short-term deal.
In a strong Leinster team, Luke Fitzgerald is named on the wing, while Isaac Boss and Ian Madigan will form the half-back pairing with Rhys Ruddock named in the back-row after it emerged this morning that he’s already agreed a new contract with Leinster.
