Provincial teams named for European Cup ties

There are two changes on the Leinster team for the Heineken Cup game against Biarritz at Donnybrook on Friday night. Bob Casey of Blackrock replaces his club-mate Leo Cullen in the second row and the influential Trevor Brennan will link up with team captain Liam Toland and Victor Costello in the back row. Eric Miller and Leo Cullen have been included amongst the replacements.

Meanwhile, Munster have named an unchanged side for the game against Castres in France on Saturday. However wing John O'Neill and Donnacha O'Callaghan have been added to the travelling party from which the replacements will be selected. Ulster will wait until tomorrow to finalise their side for the game against Saracens. Ulster's main injury concern is Russell Nelson who suffers from a calf injury.
