Easterby named in Leinster XV

The Leinster team to face Llanelli Scarlets in Stradey Park on Saturday, kick-off at 5.30pm, has been named.

There are two changes to the team that defeated Cardiff Blues 16-9 last weekend.

Trevor Hogan returns to the starting line-up in place of Adam Byrnes after recovering from an ankle injury, with ex-Llanelli scrum-half Guy Easterby replacing Chris Whitaker.

The replacements bench will be confirmed closer to kick off.
