Hickie to play full back for Leinster
Denis Hickie has been relocated to full back for Leinster for their Celtic League clash with Border Reivers at Donnybrook on Friday evening.
It is a strong-looking lie-up considering Leinster are short their 6 Nations players. Robert Kearney and Felipe Contepomi are selected in a quality backline.
Leinster Academy duo out-half Jonathan Sexton and 6'10" second row Devin Toner, both Ireland U21 internationals, are included in the squad for the first time.
