Leinster name strong squad for Ospreys

Leinster have been restored to close to full-strength ahead of the return of the Heineken Cup this weekend. Stan Wright is back in the panel for the first-time in two months and he’s joined by Irish internationals such as Brian O’Driscoll, Jamie Heaslip and Cian Healy ahead of their trip to face the Scarlets on Saturday. In the absence of Luke Fitzgerald, Simon Keogh retains his place in the squad, while Shaun Berne looks set to win the nod ahead of Isa Nacewa to replace the injured Jonathan Sexton at out-half. Nathan Hines (Scotland) and CJ van der Linde (South Africa) who were also involved with their respective countries are also in contention alongside the likes of John Fogarty, Shane Horgan, Fergus McFadden, Kevin McLaughlin, Mike Ross and Devin Toner who were all involved with Ireland ‘A’ in their victories over Tonga and the Argentina Jaguares.
