Kildare Native Prendergast Dropped as Leinster Face Edinburgh

Leinster face Edinburgh in the Investec Champions Cup at the Aviva Stadium on April 5th at 5.30pm.

Leinster have named their side for Sunday's Investec Champions Cup last-16 clash with Edinburgh at the Aviva Stadium at 5.30pm.

From a Kildare perspective, there is a strong local representation in the starting XV, with Naas native Jamie Osborne and Eadestown native Jimmy O'Brien both named in the backline. Osborne starts in midfield, while O'Brien lines out on the left wing.

But no doubt the headline selection sees Harry Byrne preferred at out-half, with fellow Kildare man Sam Prendergast missing out on the matchday 23. A good chance to rest and recover from his recent involvement in Leinster's URC campaign. While Ciarán Frawley is instead named among the replacements.

Head coach Leo Cullen has made a number of changes from the side that defeated Scarlets last week, including the return of Tadhg Furlong and Ryan Baird to the starting team.

Leinster come into the game looking to progress to the quarter-finals, with the competition now entering the knockout stages.
