Leinster's Jordie Barrett to Start Against La Rochelle

News summary

Jordie Barrett has been promoted to the starting lineup for Leinster's Champions Cup match against La Rochelle after Tommy O'Brien sustained an injury during training. O'Brien will not travel to France, prompting a reshuffle in the backline; Barrett will start at full-back, with Jimmy O'Brien moving to the right wing and Jamie Osborne shifting to left wing. Ciaran Frawley, returning from a back injury, takes Barrett's place on the bench. Leinster, who are unbeaten in both the Champions Cup and the United Rugby Championship this season, aim to secure top seeding with a win against La Rochelle, who also remain undefeated in their pool. The match is set to take place at Stade Marcel Deflandre at 3:15 PM Irish time. Both teams are also dealing with notable absences due to injuries, including Leinster's Jordan Larmour and La Rochelle's Will Skelton.
