LEINSTER ARE FACING some big selection decisions ahead of Saturday’s Champions Cup final meeting with Toulouse, and with the province due to name their team on Friday we’ve taken an early stab at the matchday 23 we’d like to see Leo Cullen and his coaches pick.
James Lowe will resume his place on the wing but the return of Jimmy O’Brien complicates the back three selection. Ross Byrne will continue at out-half but needs to replicate his dominant display from the quarter-final win against La Rochelle, rather than the more mixed bag against Saints in the semi-final.
Joe McCarthy has also enjoyed an excellent season and will have an important role to play in the second row.
