Both players were named in the Ireland Six Nations squad last week by interim boss Simon Easterby after long layoffs.

The Leinster number two picked up a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury in last year’s first test of the drawn series against world champions South Africa.

While James Lowe has been out since November as he struggled with a calf issue.

The win was The Blues’ 14 win from as many games this season as they maintained their perfect URC and Champions Cup record.
