Henshaw & Co Return As Leinster Team Named For Wasps Trip

Final hurdle.

Head coach Leo Cullen has named his Leinster team for this weekend’s final Champions Cup pool clash with Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.

Robbie Henshaw returns from a hamstring injury to take his place in the centre alongside Garry Ringrose. It’s the Westmeath man’s first game since late October for Leinster. At half back Jamison Gibson-Park comes in to partner Ross Byrne.

In the pack Jack McGrath comes into the front row alongside Seán Cronin and Tadhg Furlong and there is a change in the second row too with Devin Toner taking his place alongside James Ryan having recovered from an ankle injury.

There is no change from last week in the back row with Rhys Ruddock again leading the side from blindside flanker. On the bench Seán O’Brien is also returning from injury and is in line for his first Leinster game since October.
