The Leinster team to take on Munster in a Pre-Season Friendly, on Friday evening in Musgrave Park, has been named by Head Coach Leo Cullen.

Scott Penny captains the team, that includes four senior internationals in the starting lineup, along with four members of the Leinster Academy.

Jordan Larmour starts at full-back, with Tommy O’Brien and Rob Russell on the wings. Liam Turner and Ben Brownlee form the centre partnership, with Ciarán Frawley and Cormac Foley completing the backline.

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.
