Isaac Boss will become the first player to earn 100 caps for two different provinces tomorrow.

He's been named at scrum half in the Leinster team to face Glasgow Warriors for the opening round of the Guinness Pro 12 at Scotstoun tomorrow evening.

Jimmy Gopperth is named beside him to make up an experienced half back line.

Brendan Macken and Noel Reid are the centre pairing, with Macken taking the Number 13 jersey in Leinster’s first competitive game since Brian O’Driscoll retired at the end of last season.

There's also a familiar-looking front row, with Cian Healy and Mike Ross lining up either side of Sean Cronin at hooker.

And Sean O'Brien captains the side from 8.

The match takes place at Scotstoun Stadium, with kick off at 5.15pm.
