Leinster vs Toulouse: Injury issues impact selection

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has no concerns about fielding a relatively inexperienced side in their Heineken Champions Cup clash with Toulouse.

Jonathan Sexton, Rob Kearney and Dan Leavy are all ruled out through injury. Robbie Henshaw hasn't been risked despite his return to training.

Cullen says both Sexton and Sean O'Brien should be fit for the start of Ireland's Six Nations campaign in three weeks' time.

Ross Byrne, Adam Byrne and Rory O'Loughlin will all start among the backs at the RDS. Jordan Larmour will start at full-back, while Dave Kearney is on the wing.

Live Commentary

Leinster lost to the Top 14 side by a point in France in October in what proved to be a thriller.

We will have the match live on Off The Ball this Saturday. So tune into Newstalk radio at 1pm for live commentary or listen live on our online player. Connor Morris, Keith Wood and Kevin McLoughlin will be on hand at the RDS.
