Leinster coach Michael Cheika has named an extended 28 man squad for Saturday’s reverse fixture with the Scarlets in the Heineken Cup…
The bulk of the panel comprises the matchday squad which came away from Wales with a bonus point last weekend, with Shaun Berne expected to deputise for Jonathan Sexton at out half once again.
Chris Keane, Simon Keogh, Ronan McCormack, Devin Toner and Rhys Ruddock are also drafted in at this stage.
Leinster share top spot in Pool Six with London Irish and will target another bonus point win against the Welsh outfit.
A full house is expected at the RDS with the few remaining tickets available from the Leinster Rugby Store and Spar in Donnybrook.
