Leinster boss Leo Cullen will have a lot of stars at his disposal as RG Snyman and a host of Irish internationals are in line to make their first appearances of the season in Saturday’s URC clash away to Benetton Treviso.
Snyman is edging closer to his Leinster debut as he continues to step up his rehabilitation programme further after picking up a foot injury on international duty with South Africa on their way to winning the Rugby Championship.
Dan Sheehan, Jack Boyle, John McKee, Paddy McCarthy and Tommy O’Brien are all unavailable for selection this weekend. Players who were selected for the Emerging Ireland tour in South Africa are also unavailable, including Sam Prendergast.
Michael Milne is available after coming through Friday night’s 34-6 win over the Dragons at the Aviva Stadium with no issues after recovering from an ankle injury suffered in the opening round against Edinburgh.
