Leinster vs Ospreys, Saturday February 19th, RDS (kick-off 5pm, live on RTÉ)
The Byrne brothers start in a 10/12 axis as Leinster welcome Ospreys to the RDS on Saturday evening. Older brother Ross is in the outhalf shirt with Harry outside him at inside centre.
The occasion also marks the return of James Lowe from the injury that has ruled him out of the Six Nations up until now as he is named on the bench. Ryan Baird, Cian Healy and Jordan Larmour all start after being released from Ireland camp.
The in-form Jimmy O’Brien gets the nod at fullback as Jamie Osbourne shifts up into 13 to form a young midfield pairing alongside the younger Byrne.
The dynamic Martin Moloney keeps his place after impressing against Edinburgh. He packs down in the back row alongside Scott Penny and Max Deegan.
Luke McGrath captains the side from scrumhalf while Sean Cronin is set to make his 200th Leinster appearance off the bench.
