Leinster coach Michael Cheika has named a 27-man squad for Saturday’s Celtic League clash with the Glasgow Warriors at Donnybrook.
Cheika includes Australian lock Adam Byrnes who missed last weekend’s 22-20 defeat to the Ospreys while Felipe Contepomi, Girvan Dempsey, Bernard Jackman and Keith Gleeson are all included. The team is expected to be confirmed later in the week.
 
Meanwhile, several members of the non-playing 22 will be attending a BBQ from the Wesley End on Saturday while there will also be Player appearances and In-store signings from 4pm in the Leinster Rugby Store. There will be face painting, free new Leinster squad posters for every child and great giveaways on the day.

Forwards (15): Emmett Byrne, Will Green, John Lyne, Ronan McCormack, David Blaney, Bernard Jackman, Adam Byrnes, Ben Gissing, Des Dillon, Simon Crawford, Ciaran Potts, Niall Ronan, Keith Gleeson, Eric Miller, Jamie Heaslip
