Rob Kearney returns as Leinster name team to face Montpellier

Rob Kearney has been recalled.

After he was dropped for Leinster's landslide win over Glasgow last weekend, the Ireland international returns to the starting side for this weekend's trip to Montpellier, with Jordan Larmour moving to the wing in place of Fergus McFadden. McFadden moves to the bench in a reshuffled backline with Ross Byrne and Jamison Gibson-Park replacing Johnny Sexton (fit and available) and Luke McGrath respectively. Meanwhile in the forwards, Dan Leavy has come in at blindside flanker for Jordi Murphy while James Ryan returns in the second row from an ankle injury in what is only his second Champions Cup start of the season in his 10th appearance for Leinster. Ireland international Joey Carbery is also set to return in what should be his first game back from a broken wrist. Carbery has not played since Ireland defeated Fiji in the November internationals. https://youtu.be/nmhv9tqXVug Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets):  15. Rob Kearney (192) 14. Jordan Larmour (13) 13.
