Hugh O'Sullivan

O'Sullivan set to start against the Kings

Kiltale's Hugh O'Sullivan will make his second start for Leinster in the PRO14 match against Isuzu Southern Kings tomorrow evening (Friday) at the RDS Arena, 7.55pm, live on eir Sport. 
O'Sullivan made his debut in September last year coming off the bench to feature against Cardiff, but he made his first start at home to Scarlets in the PRO14 in January, just a week after making his Champions Cup debut from the bench for the province.
Tomorrow night O'Sullivan, a brother of Meath GAA stars Cillian and Mark, will partner Ross Byrne at half-back, while head coach Leo Cullen will hand a debut to Rónan Kelleher.
Kelleher, who starts at hooker, will become the 54th player to represent the Irish side at senior level this season.
The 21-year-old Lansdowne player is in his second year at the Leinster Academy, and is the younger brother of Connacht back Cian Kelleher. 
Ross Molony will captain Leinster, who are without several players due to international commitments, while Fergus McFadden returns from a hamstring injury to start on the right wing.
Jack Dunne, who made his debut in last weekend’s bonus-point win away to Zebre, is named among the replacements, and could make his first-ever senior appearance at the RDS.

Leinster (v Southern Kings): Barry Daly, Fergus McFadden, Conor O’Brien, Noel Reid, James Lowe, Ross Byrne, Hugh O’Sullivan; Ed Byrne, Rónan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Ross Molony, Mick Kearney, Josh Murphy, Max Deegan, Caelan Doris. Replacements - James Tracy, Peter Dooley, Michael Bent, Jack Dunne, Scott Fardy, Paddy Patterson, Jimmy O’Brien, Rory O’Loughlin.
