Not for the first time, Cullen is about to unleash his kids
LEINSTER have put their faith in their younger players for the visit of Zebre to the Aviva Stadium.
So much so that there are two uncapped players and one player with one cap in the starting lineup.
Add in another four starting players with less than 20 caps, three uncapped players and a single-capped player on the bench, the round five URC tussle is setup to be benchmark stuff.
Little wonder that Leo Cullen, looking for a similar adventure, reaches back to a European game with Bath at the RDS in 2016 where Garry Ringrose, Luke McGrath, Peter Dooley, James Tracy, Tadhg Furlong and Ross Molony all made their first European starts.
