Leinster coach Declan Kidney has named a 28 man squad for this weekend’s trip to Connacht in the Celtic League. Current captain Shane Jennings is absent with a foot injury but Felipe Contepomi, Gary Brown and Leo Cullen are back from injury.

There could be a chance for young players like Jamie Heaslip, Eoghan Hickey and Fiachra Baynes to impress Kidney ahead of Leinster’s Heineken Cup clash with Leicester in early April.

Leinster (v Connacht):

Forwards: John Lyne, Ricky Nebbett, David Blaney, Gavin Hickie, Ben Gissing, Ciaran Potts, Aidan McCullen, Des Dillon, Victor Costello, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip, Niall Treston, Leo Cullen.


Backs: Brian O’Riordan, Brian O’Meara, David Holwell, David McAllister, Christian Warner, Kieran Lewis, John McWeeney, Gary Brown, David Quinlan, John Hearty, Felipe Contepomi, Eoghan Hickey, Fiachra Baynes, Conor Kilroy, Ken Kennedy
