Leinster's Jordie Barrett to Start Against Clermont

News summary

Jordie Barrett will make his first start for Leinster in the Champions Cup match against Clermont, taking the place of the injured Ciarán Frawley at full-back. Barrett, who joined from the Hurricanes and scored a try in his debut last week, is part of five changes made by head coach Leo Cullen, including the return of captain Caelan Doris and players Andrew Porter, Thomas Clarkson, and Liam Turner. Sam Prendergast retains the number 10 shirt after a strong performance last week, while the backline includes Barrett alongside Turner and Jimmy O'Brien. Leinster looks to build on their previous victory against Bristol, while Clermont enters the match fresh off a dominant win over Benetton. Barrett expressed a desire to specialize in a single position, moving from his previous role in the midfield to full-back to accommodate the team's needs. The match will kick off at 5:30 PM at the Aviva Stadium.
