Ireland and Lions prop Tadhg Furlong will play his first match in a year tomorrow when he lines out for Leinster against the Scarlets

Having recovered from a calf issue and been included in the Six Nations squad this week, he's set to start for the defending champions in Wales in the Guinness PRO14.

The Wexford native hasn't played a game since the Blues' encounter with Benetton in January 2020.
