Two newcomers on Leinster team.
August 30, 2000

There are two newcomers on the Leinster side that faces Connacht in the Guinness Interprovincial game at Donnybrook on Friday.

Former International scrum-half Brian O'Meara who switched from Munster in the Summer makes his Leinster debut and will be partnered at half back by Australian Nathan Turner.
Turner has been drafted into the squad following the loss of front line out half Emmett Farrell with an achilles injury and his back up Andy Dunne, who was injured in the game against Swansea two weeks ago.

Peter McKenna will start in the centre in the absence of Brian O'Driscoll, who continues to recover from his hamstring injury.

In the pack there is no place for test flanker Trevor Brennan, with another new signing Eric Miller who was at Ulster last season, preferred.

Leinster:Girvan Dempsey; Denis Hickie,Peter McKenna, Shane Horgan, Gordon D'Arcy; Nathan Turner, Brian O'Meara; Reggie Corrigan, Shane Byrne, Emmet Byrne;Robert Casey,Malcolm O'Kelly; Eric Miller
Liam Toland, Victor Costello.
Replacements: Derek Hegarty, Mark McHugh, James Norton, Trevor Brennan, Leo Cullen, Gary Halpin. Peter Smyth.
