| Head coach Sean Lineen said: “We have to take advantage of the fact that we still have a number of our senior internationalists with us. These guys have a point to prove and we’re going over there to make a statement. Our previous results against Leinster have always been very close, just a point or two difference sometimes, so we need to go across and show what we can do.”
The starting line-up sees a return from injury for winger Thom Evans and a first senior start for prop Moray Low. Lineen added: “It’s great to see Moray Low step up. He’s trained hard and deserves his chance. We’ll be up against it, particularly in the forwards, but I’m sure Moray will cope well up front.”
Canadian prop Kevin Tkachuk remains with squad for this game before travelling on international duty with Canada as they prepare to take on Wales (17 November) while Colin Gregor returns from injury to join the bench.
