Tadhg Furlong and Jamison Gibson-Park set to earn 150th Leinster caps

The Leinster Rugby team, proudly sponsored by Bank of Ireland, to take on Stade Rochelais in Round 3 of the Investec Champions Cup on Sunday at the Stade Marcel Deflandre (KO: 4.15pm local time, 3.15pm Irish time live on Premier Sports 1 and RTÉ Radio 1) has been named by Head Coach, Leo Cullen.

Tadhg Furlong returns to the team to win his 150th Leinster cap in what will be his first appearance since the win over Munster at Croke Park back in October, with Jamison Gibson-Park also set to hit the same milestone.

Caelan Doris captains the team from number eight with Josh van der Flier and Ryan Baird joining him in the back row.

Furlong is joined by Cian Healy and Rónan Kelleher in the front row, with Joe McCarthy and James Ryan linking up in the second row once more.

Sam Prendergast partners Gibson-Park at out-half, while the familiar duo of Garry Ringrose and Robbie Henshaw make up the centres.

Jamie Osborne has been given the nod at full-back as Jordan Larmour and Jimmy O'Brien start on the wings.

Academy hooker Gus McCarthy has been named among the replacements alongside Andrew Porter and Rabah Slimani, while RG Snyman and Jack Conan complete the reinforcements for the pack.

Luke McGrath and Ross Byrne are the replacement half-backs and Jordie Barrett takes the number 23 shirt for Sunday's game.
