Leinster Rugby Head Coach Leo Cullen has named his match day 23 for this Friday night’s Guinness PRO14 game against Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun Stadium.

There is a debut from inside centre for Westmeath man Conor O’Brien, while Josh Murphy is also in line for a debut from the bench. Cullen is able to call upon four players named earlier this week in the Irish squad for the Guinness Series.

Backs coach Girvan Dempsey spoke earlier in the week about Leinster’s recent run of good form, yougn players stepping up during the international window and the challenge of face a Warriors side that are unbeaten in the Pro14 at Scotsoun.

Having impressed when introduced in the Kingspan Stadium last week, Jordan Larmour starts at full back against Glasgow with Adam Byrne and Dave Kearney on the right and left wing respectively.

In the centre 21 year old O’Brien, who won an AIL title with Clontarf in 2016, makes his first start in Leinster senior colours having impressed for the Leinster ‘A’ team in the B&I Cup in recent weeks. Outside O’Brien will be Rory O’Loughlin in the number 13 jersey.

Once again Jamison Gibson-Park and Ross Byrne will form the half back partnership for Leinster.

In the pack it’s a new look front row this week with Ed Byrne, Seán Cronin and Michael Bent selected, while in the second row Ross Molony captains the side with Clontarf’s Mick Kearney beside him.

Scott Fardy starts in the back row for the first time in his Leinster career, with Jordi Murphy selected at openside flanker and Max Deegan at No. 8.

On the bench former St. Michael’s student Josh Murphy is in line to make his Leinster senior debut. The 22 year old Leinster Academy player was a consistent performer for Leinster in the pre-season friendlies until picking up a jaw injury against Gloucester.
