Lineen said: "Scott Barrow looked impressive not only in the back-up game but also when he came onto the pitch in the game against Munster. He showed a good rugby brain and a lot of hunger to get his hands on the ball. Francisco was disappointed to have to drop out of the side so late in the day last week but is very keen to prove himself to his team-mates and make the fullback shirt his own."
Meanwhile, Donnie Macfadyen withdrew from the back-up team on Monday to be at the birth of his first child. Mother, Rosie Baruah, and baby daughter are doing well. On the arrival of 7lb 12oz Isla Nirala Baruah Macfadyen, Donnie said: "I'm proud as punch!"
