Leinster Rugby Head Coach Leo Cullen today announced his Leinster match day 23 to take on Edinburgh in the Guinness PRO12 tomorrow evening in BT Murrayfield (Kick Off: 7.35pm – live on TG4).
There are a number of changes from the XV that went to Glasgow last Saturday and further changes on the replacements bench.
Cullen also confirmed that Rob Kearney’s scan on Monday had come back relatively positive and that the 30 year old full back has not picked up a long term injury. He has though suffered a grade two PCL knee injury which will keep him sidelined for the next few rounds of the Guinness PRO12. Rehabilitation has already commenced and he will be assessed again in a few weeks.
