Zebre's line-up for Leinster clash

The 16th round of the Guinness PRO12 sees the two teams in opposition just two weeks from the first leg played in Dublin. This will be the fifth game of the Guinness PRO12 concurrent with the international fixtures of the RBS 6 Nations with both teams to face numerous absences. In fact 8 players of the Italian North-West franchise are selected by Italy which hosts Scotland in Rome tomorrow, while 12 dDubliners are listed in the 23 of Ireland playing tomorrow at Twickenham against England.

Compared to the first leg won by the Irish, Leinster will miss flanker Van Der Flier and the two props Healy and Ross; called by the reigning champions of the RBS 6 Nations for the third round. Zebre, however, will count on the return of international lock Geldenhuys who has recovered from his December surgery and of the Italian international flanker Jacopo Sarto as Jacopo has been released by Italy. Coach Guidi could also count on four permit players capped over the main Italian league Eccellenza: Semenzato (Rugby Mogliano ), Morelli (Rugby Calvisano), Azzolini (Gold Rugby Flames) and McKinley (Rugby Viadana 1970).

It will be special match for the fly-half McKinley. The Irish player, developed in the Academy of Leinster, for the first time will face the team with which he made his debut in the Guinness PRO12 in May 2009 before the serious eye injury that occurred in 2010. On the bench will sit Morelli - former National Academy Ivan Francescato hooker- he could gain his official debut in the Guinness PRO12.
