Sexton and Carbery both start Leinster's Champions Cup clash with Wasps

Jack Conan has been able to shake off a calf issue to start alongside Sean O’Brien in the back row.

LEINSTER HEAD COACH Leo Cullen has given Joey Carbery a starting berth at fullback for tomorrow’s Champions Cup clash with Wasps at the Aviva Stadium (15.15, BT Sport).

The 10-12-13 axis of Jonathan Sexton, Robbie Henshaw, Garry Ringrose along with forwards, Jack McGrath, Tadhg Furlong, Devin Toner and Sean O’Brien return to the fold after being rested in the wake of the Six Nations.

There is a boost at number eight as Jack Conan has shaken off a calf issue to join O’Brien and Leavy in the back row with Jamie Heaslip recovering from surgery on his back.

With Carbery in the back three, there is no replacement out-half named among the replacements as Zane Kirchner returns from injury to join Fergus McFadden and Jamison Gibson-Park as backs cover.
