LEINSTER BEGIN LIFE with co-captains Garry Ringrose and James Ryan when the Ireland internationals make their first appearances of the United Rugby Championship following the disappointment of the World Cup.
Scarlets are the visitors to the RDS tomorrow, with Hugo Keenan also set to make his debut this term at full back while Ringrose will be in the centre alongside Jamie Osborne.
On the wings, head coach Leo Cullen has opted for Jordan Larmour and Jimmy OโBrien.
Sam Prendergast starts an RDS game for the province for the first time, where Jamison Gibson-Park will join him at half-back.ย
