Eleven players from Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations squad kick off the match, with an additional five on the bench. Luke McGrath leads the team, which showcases over 1,500 combined Leinster appearances.
Jordan Larmour begins at full-back, flanked by Rob Russell and James Lowe on the wings. Robbie Henshaw and Jamie Osborne form the midfield, while Harry Byrne partners with McGrath in the half-backs.
The forward pack sees Cian Healy making his 275th Leinster appearance alongside Rónan Kelleher and Michael Ala’alatoa in the front row. Joe McCarthy and Ross Molony pair up in the second row, with Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, and Jack Conan completing the pack.
On the bench, three centurions—Tadhg Furlong, Jamison Gibson-Park, and Ross Byrne—are joined by Dan Sheehan, Michael Milne, Jason Jenkins, Caelan Doris, and Liam Turner.
