Leinster name side for Worcester following good win in Coventry

Following a resounding 44-27 win over Coventry on Thursday, Leinster have announced their side to play Worcester later today.

Declan Kidney will have been pleased with the performance of a largely inexperienced side against Coventry, when they ran in six tries from Fiachra Baynes (2), Gareth Hayes, David Blaney, David Hewitt and Ken Kennedy.

Trailing 20-10 at the interval, Leinster launched a stinging reply in the second half, largely from the boot of Conor Kilroy who added nine points to his earlier five – though the Blackrock College fullback saw two efforts shave the upright while another struck the crossbar.

Leinster team that played Coventry:

Conor Kilroy, Fiachra Baynes, Ken Kennedy, Shane Moore (Captain), Gareth Hayes, David Hewitt, Eoin Burke (D. Geraghty, 74);
Anthony O’Donnell (W. O’Dowd, 74), David Blaney, Ricky Nebbett (J. Moran, 74), John Duffy, Simon Crawford, Ciaran Potts, Tom O’Donoghue, Kevin Croke
