Sidelined for the entirety of the season so far, Killian Marmion makes a welcome return to the starting fifteen tomorrow against Wanderers in our crucial Energia AIL tie at Dr Hickey Park. Killian's return ensures a Marmion is on the teamsheet as Captain Eoin Marmion is unaivable for selection. His absence see's James Douglas partner John Van Der Flier in the second row while Freddie Happonen moves to number seven and Rob Byrnes makes his first start of the season at hooker. Also returning from a long layoff, Rob has featured off the bench in the last two rounds and will be raring to go from the start.

More good news in terms of returning players is the sight of Matt O'Brien in the 15 jersey and Dylan Henry who has not featured since the reverse fixture against Wanderers in Merrion Road at the beginning of November, on the wing while Craig Kenny comes onto the bench having featured for the seconds last weekend making his long awaited return.
