No Sexton, but Kearney is back - Leinster change 8 for Glasgow trip

Leo Cullen’s side looking to make it five-in-a-row in the Pro12.

JOHNNY SEXTON HAS been ruled out of Leinster’s Pro12 meeting with Glasgow tomorrow afternoon.

Sexton was suffering with a minor back issue following last week’s win over Ulster and, although he was reported to be available for selection, he is not named in the matchday 23 with Ian Madigan starting at out-half.

Meanwhile Rob Kearney has been passed fit to start in Scotstoun. Kearney was a late withdrawal last week with a hamstring issue but is named again at full-back.

Coach Leo Cullen makes eight changes in total with Eoin Reddan and Dave Kearney also coming into the backs in place of Isa Nacewa and the injured Luke McGrath.

Cian Healy, Richardt Strauss and Marty Moore make up a completely new front row while Tom Denton and Jordi Murphy also start in the pack.

Kick-off is at 3pm. The game is live on Sky Sports.
