There are two changes on the Leinster team to face Biarritz in France on Saturday in the their final pool match of this season’s Heineken European Cup. Matt Williams’ side, who surrendered a fifteen point half-time lead against Edinburgh Reivers on Friday must win in France if they are to secure home advantage in the quarter-finals.
RTÉ Online columnist Denis Hickie, who broke a bone in his hand against Edinburgh, is out for six weeks and is replaced by his versatile club-mate Peter McKenna. Shane Byrne of Blackrock replaces Peter Smith at hooker. The game has a 5.30pm kick off Irish time.
Meanwhile there is one change on the Munster team for their game against Castres at Musgrave Park. Mike Mullins has fully recovered from injury and he teams up with Killian Keane in the centre with John Kelly reverting to the wing to the exclusion of John O'Neill.
