Barrett and Osborne form centre partnership as Leinster take on Scarlets

Jimmy O’Brien will make his 100th appearance for the province.

LAST UPDATE | 30 May

JORDIE BARRETT PARTNERS Jamie Osborne in the Leinster midfield as they take on Scarlets in the quarter-finals of the URC on Saturday at Aviva Stadium (KO: 3pm, RTÉ2 and Premier Sports 1).

Garry Ringrose is not among the matchday 23 as he manages a calf injury, while Tommy O’Brien is recovering from a foot injury, although both are expected to be available again in the short term.

Jimmy O’Brien will make his 100th appearance in blue as he has been named on the wing, with James Lowe coming back into the team on the opposite side and Hugo Keenan named at full-back.

Osborne partners Barrett in the centre while Sam Prendergast starts at out-half with Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half.

Jack Conan captains the team once more from No 8 as Ryan Baird continues at blindside flanker and Josh van der Flier takes the number seven jersey.

James Ryan is partnered in the second row by Joe McCarthy, with Andrew Porter and Thomas Clarkson scrumming down either side of Rónan Kelleher at hooker.

Dan Sheehan, Jack Boyle and Rabah Slimani offer the front row cover from the bench, with RG Snyman, Max Deegan and Scott Penny all named among the replacements. Luke McGrath and Ciarán Frawley complete the matchday 23.
