Three changes for Leinster as Keenan and van der Flier miss out
LEINSTER BOSS LEO Cullen has made three personnel changes to his team for tomorrow's URC semi-final against Glasgow at the Aviva Stadium [KO 2.45pm, RTÉ/Premier Sports]. Tommy O'Brien returns from a foot injury on the right wing, while Scott Penny comes in at openside for Josh van der Flier, who injured his hamstring against Scarlets last weekend, and Dan Sheehan comes in at hooker. Jimmy O'Brien moves from the wing to fullback in place of the absent Hugo Keenan. The injured Garry Ringrose remains sidelined, as do Caelan Doris, Tadhg Furlong, Robbie Henshaw, and Will Connors. Meanwhile, Glasgow head coach Franco Smith has made two personnel changes to his starting XV following last weekend's quarter-final win over the Stormers. Adam Hastings comes in at out-half, meaning Tom Jordan moves to midfield and Stafford McDowall drops to the bench, while Fin Richardson starts at tighthead prop. British and Irish Lions squad members Huw Jones and Zander Fagerson remain sidelined due to injury, but Sione Tuipulotu and Scott Cummings both start for Glasgow, who have gone for a 6/2 bench split.

Leinster v Glasgow Warriors team news: Dan Sheehan among three changes to starting XV
Dan Sheehan, Tommy O'Brien and Scott Penny have all come into the Leinster starting XV to face the Glasgow Warriors in the semi-finals of the BKT URC on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium (kick-off 2.45pm, live on RTÉ2 and Premier Sports 1). They are the only changes to Leinster's starting XV from last weekend's 33-21 win over Scarlets in the quarter-finals while Jimmy O'Brien shifts to fullback in the absence of Hugo Keenan, who joins fellow Lions Garry Ringrose, Josh van der Flier and Tadhg Furlong on the sidelines. Rónan Kelleher moves to the bench where is joined by Jack Boyle and Rabah Slimani. It is a strong-looking replacements unit, with Max Deegan and RG Snyman also named as Leo Cullen reverts to a 5-3 split. Luke McGrath, Ciarán Frawley and the restored Ross Byrne are the backs named, with Byrne making his final appearance at Aviva Stadium for Leinster ahead of his move to Gloucester this summer after a decade of service. Fin Richardson and Adam Hastings have been called into the Glasgow Warriors starting XV.
