James Culhane replaces Rhys Ruddock in the only change to the starting XV

Leo Cullen has made one change to the Leinster team as they host Edinburgh on Saturday in the URC.

James Culhane replaces Rhys Ruddock in the only change to the starting team that defeated Hollywoodbets Sharks last weekend.

As a result it’s as you were in the backs, with Ciarán Frawley starting at full-back, with try-scorers from last weekend Tommy O’Brien and Jordan Larmour on the wings. Jamie Osborne and Charlie Ngatai are in the centre, with Harry Byrne and Cormac Foley completing the back line.

In the pack, Jack Boyle, Lee Barron and Michael Ala’alatoa form the front row. Ross Molony and Jason Jenkins retain their places in the heart of the pack for the third game in succession. Whereas, Max Deegan, captain Scott Penny and Culhane make-up the back row.

Among the replacements, Ruddock brings the experience to the bench while last week’s debutant Dylan Donnellan is in line for a second Leinster cap.

Leinster: 15. Ciarán Frawley, 14. Tommy O’Brien, 13. Jamie Osborne, 12. Charlie Ngatai, 11. Jordan Larmour, 10. Harry Byrne, 9. Cormac Foley, 1. Jack Boyle, 2. Lee Barron, 3. Michael Ala’alatoa, 4. Ross Molony, 5. Jason Jenkins, 6. Max Deegan, 7. Scott Penny (C), 8. James Culhane.
