Leinster v Munster: Carbery & van der Flier Return For PRO14 Semi-Final

Leinster and Munster have named their teams for the all-Irish PRO14 semi-final on Saturday.

Leo Cullen has made four changes from the team that started in Newcastle last weekend. Jordan Larmour shifts from the wing to full back, with Dave Kearney coming in.

Luke McGrath starts at scrumhalf with Ross Byrne coming in outside him in place of Jonathan Sexton who moves to the bench. In the pack the front five is retained with Cian Healy, Seán Cronin and Tadhg Furlong starting in the front row and Devin Toner and James Ryan behind them.

Rhys Ruddock comes in off the bench to captain the team, with Josh van der Flier in at openside for his first Leinster game since January having recovered from a groin injury picked up during the Six Nations.

For Munster, there are four changes to the side that defeated Benetton Rugby in the PRO14 quarter-final two weeks ago as Keith Earls, Joey Carbery, John Ryan and Arno Botha come into the starting XV.


Captain Peter O’Mahony, CJ Stander and Botha are named in the back row while replacement Jack O’Donoghue is set to make his 100th Munster appearance off the bench.
