Tickets are available for the game here, with Adult tickets costing €10 and Junior tickets priced at €5.
Cullen’s selection sees a starting lineup that includes five Senior internationals, and four players from the Leinster Academy.
Chris Cosgrave starts at full-back, with Tommy O’Brien and Rob Russell on the wings. Jamie Osborne and Ciarán Frawley (pictured above) form the centre partnership, with Harry Byrne and Cormac Foley completing the backline.
In the pack, Academy props Jack Boyle and Rory McGuire pack down either side of John McKee. Brian Deeny and Jason Jenkins are in the heart of the pack for the second game in a row, with Max Deegan, Will Connors and James Culhane in the back-row.
