Kearney, Jowitt and Blaney in Leinster squad
Rob Kearney, Cameron Jowitt and Brian Blaney have all been included in Leinster's squad to play Munster in the Magner's League at Lalsndowne Road on Friday night.
Kearney has recovered from a hamstring strain. Jowitt showed up impressively enough in Leinster's A game to make the move into the senior squad and Blaney has been called up due to slight shoulder injuries to Harry Vermaas and Berand Jackman.
Otherwise, Leinster's galaxy of stars, led by captain Brian O'Driscoll, are all available for a rematch of the last season's Heineken Cup semi-final.
LEINSTER SQUAD (v Munster):
Forwards: Reggie Corrigan, Bernard Jackman, Will Green, Harry Vermaas, Brian Blaney, Ronan McCormack, Malcolm O’Kelly, Trevor Hogan, Owen Finegan, Stephen Keogh, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip, Cameron Jowitt, Niall Ronan.
