Ian Madigan to start at outfalf for Leinster’s final Pro 12 game

With Ian Keatley and Paddy Jackson involved in the upcoming Pro 12 play-offs, Ian Madigan gets a rare run at outhalf against Edinburgh in Murrayfield on Saturday at 3pm (Live BBC Alba).

One of these number 10s will presumably miss out on Joe Schmidt’s 31- man World Cup squad.

Madigan starting at 10 means Jimmy Gopperth’s final involvement in a Leinster jersey, if any, will be from the bench.

Colm O’Shea makes his seasonal debut in midfield alongside Noel Reid while Lansdowne and Ireland under-20s fullback/winger Cian Kelleher is poised to win his first Leinster cap off the bench. Both O’Shea and Kelleher played in last weekend’s All-Ireland League club final.

The pack, as usual, is made up entirely of Irish internationals.

Leinster: Rob Kearney, Zane Kirchner, Colm O’Shea, Noel Reid, Dave Kearney, Ian Madigan, Isaac Boss, Jack McGrath, Richardt Strauss, Mike Ross, Devin Toner, Mike McCarthy, Jordi Murphy, Sean O’Brien, Jamie Heaslip

Replacements: Aaron Dundon, Michael Bent, Tadhg Furlong, Tom Denton, Jack Conan, Luke McGrath, Jimmy Gopperth,,Cian Kelleher
