Leinster go with youth from the start against Ulster

Both sides need a win

The cards have been laid on the table.

Leo Cullen and Les Kiss have named their respective Leinster and Ulster team’s for Friday evening’s Guinness PRO12 clash at the RDS.

Leinster have Rob Kearney back in the starting XV while there are starts for Josh van der Flier and Luke McGrath.

Ulster’s Ruan Pienaar will win his 100th cap when he lines out at scrum-half. He is partnered behind the scrum by Paddy Jackson.

Interestingly, Sean Reidy gets the openside start with both Roger Wilson and Chris Henry on the bench.

Leinster could go top with a win but they would have to do so in bonus point style and hope for other results to go their way this weekend.

Right now, though, any form of win will do. For either side.
