Leinster prop Peter Dooley will make his 100th appearance for the province and his first start of the 2021/22 campaign against Benetton Rugby at Stadio Monigo in the URC on Saturday (kick-off at 12.55pm Irish time – live on RTÉ, Premier Sports and URC TV).
The Offaly native made his debut for Leinster against Edinburgh Rugby in October 2014. The following season he played 21 times and has been an integral part of the squad since. Dooley is linked with a move to Connacht at the end of the season.
He’ll be joined in the frontrow in Italy by Seán Cronin and Thomas Clarkson. Joe McCarthy retains his spot in the secondrow and he’s joined by Ross Molony who returns after spending time with the Ireland squad last week.
