LEINSTER HEAD COACH Leo Cullen has named his team to face Northampton Saints in the European Champions Cup tomorrow (5.15pm).
Last year’s beaten finalists, who sit top of Pool 1, are in action at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.
With Johnny Sexton sidelined through a knee injury, Scott Fardy captains the side and there are five changes to the XV that defeated the Premiership side 43-16 last weekend.
Ross Byrne replaces Sexton, while Luke McGrath, James Tracy, Tadhg Furlong and Fardy all come in.
Ciaran Frawley is named on the bench and could potentially make his European debut for the province.
