In the pack, Academy props Jack Boyle and Rory McGuire pack down either side of Lee Barron. Brian Deeny and Jason Jenkins are in the heart of the pack, with Max Deegan, Penny and James Culhane in the back-row.

The bench includes nine Academy players, along with experience from the likes of Leinster centurions Ross Molony and Luke McGrath.
