Champions Cup team news: Henshaw back for Leinster, Zebo fit, Best out for Ulster
Munster, Leinster and Ulster have announced their teams for this weekend's Champions Cup action.
Robbie Henshaw is back in the Leinster team for Sunday's crucial Champions Cup match against Exeter at Sandy Park.
The Ireland centre has been out of action since suffering a hamstring strain in the build-up to last month's test against Argentina.
He returns to partner Garry Ringrose in the centre for the first time this season.
Johnny Sexton, Sean O'Brien and Rob Kearney are also recalled in a much-changed selection.
Number 8 Jack Conan is one of just four players retained from last week's win at Benetton Treviso.
