Leinster make 3 changes with Carbery set for first away start

Meanwhile, Dave Kearney makes his first appearance of the campaign having returned from a shoulder injury.

JOEY CARBERY IS set to make his first away start at out-half as Leinster take on Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday.

Following his dream debut in last week’s comfortable win over Benetton Treviso, the province will again place faith in the 20-year-old Auckland-born fly-half.

There are three changes in all from last week’s win.

Dave Kearney makes his first appearance of the campaign after a shoulder injury forced him to miss Ireland’s tour of South Africa in the summer.

James Tracy comes in at hooker after being introduced from the bench last week, while Jordi Murphy starts his first game of the season at number eight.

In addition, substitutes Mick Kearney, Peter Dooley and Tadhg Furlong are all involved in a matchday squad for the first time this season.

The kick-off is at 3pm and the game will be shown live on Sky Sports.
