Leinster get a chance to impress their fans as the Dragons visit the Aviva Stadium.
LEINSTER FANS WHO have a well-worn matchday routine for home games won’t face too much upheaval this season given that the Aviva Stadium is just around the corner from the RDS.
Those who turn up have plenty to be excited about in a game where the home side are 28-point favourites. “James and Garry came back last week but they missed a big chunk of the tail end of last season so they’ve almost finished the season feeling very fresh because they’ve only played a couple of games,” said Cullen. “And we’ll probably manage them over the course of the six games that lead into November and beyond.“Versus some guys who have probably had a bigger load going into the end of the season, so it’s very much a case-by-case basis.
While Tector and McCarthy will fly out with Emerging Ireland tomorrow, 22-year-old loosehead prop Jack Boyle won’t after Cullen confirmed he had picked up an infection in his leg to keep him sidelined in the coming weeks. His fellow young loosehead, Paddy McCarthy, is also out of action at present. “It’s competitive,” said Cullen. “Frawls is out there and keen to play 10 as well, so we’re a bit spoiled for choice.“We’re very lucky we have four unbelievably talented 10. It’s a good position for us to be in.
