Summary
LUKE FITZGERALD replaces the stricken Shane Horgan, who is recovering from cracked ribs, on the right wing for Leinsters St Stephens Day clash with Ulster at the RDS. Michael Cheika is hedging his bets before deciding his team closer to kick-off. Either Jonathan Sexton or Felipe Contepomi will play out half but, if Sexton is selected at No 10, Contepomi is also an option at inside centre. Similarly, he will also decide who of Keith Gleeson or Shane Jennings will start at openside flanker, a decision which could free up Jennings to play blinside, instead of Stephen Keogh. Ulster boss Steve Williams has made three changes to his team for the trip to Dublin.
Paddy Wallace and Isaac Boss come in as the half-back pairing, Niall OConnor and Kieran Campbell drop out of the squad entirely, while Justin Fitzpatrick replaces Bryan Young in the front row. John Kelly will get an opportunity to bid a final farewell to Munster fans as he has been picked in his familiar right wing position for Thursdays Magners League clash with Connacht at Musgrave Park.See the full content of this document
