Internationals return for provinces in URC

Newly capped Ireland international Jack Boyle starts for Leinster on Saturday, with Leo Cullen making five changes to his side for their BKT United Rugby Championship meeting with Cardiff at Aviva Stadium (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).

John McKee, Alex Soroka, Will Connors, Ross Byrne and Andrew Osborne all come into the province’s starting team as they look to maintain their 100% start to the season.

Diarmuid Mangan and Brian Deeny continue in the second row after teaming up in the win against the Ospreys last time out.
