The Leinster Rugby Team To Take On La Rochelle In The Investec Champions Cup Has Been Named

The Leinster Rugby team, to take on Stade Rochelais in Round 3 of the Investec Champions Cup at Aviva Stadium on Saturday has been named.

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen was forced into late planning ahead of tomorrow's Champions Cup clash with La Rochelle.

Tadhg Furlong, Andrew Porter and Jack Boyle have all been ruled out through injury.

Despite the disruption, Leinster have named a side showing strong depth, with Joshua Kenny set for his European debut on the wing and Paddy McCarthy drafted into the front row.

Caelan Doris captains the team, as Leinster look to adapt quickly and deliver at the Aviva despite the late changes up front.

Cullen has been explaining his injury headache this week.
