Keith Earls returns as Johann Van Graan names side to face Racing 92

Limping off injured on St Patricks day in Twickenham, Keith Earls season looked certain to be over after sustaining a knee injury. But credit to the Moyross man who has battled back to be fit for this Sunday’s Champions Cup semi final against Racing 92 in Bordeoux. Earls is one of 9 changes to the side named to face the French side from the victory over the Cheetahs. It will be the wingers 150 game for the province.

Kick-off in Bordeoux is 3.15pm (4.15pm French Time) this Sunday.
