Six positions on the Leinster team to play Biarritz in tomorrow's Heineken Cup quarter-final remain unfilled following Matt Williams' team announcement this afternoon.
The Leinster coach was forced, under competition rules, to name a team by noon today but minor injuries to a number of key players sees six places still up for grabs.
Shane Byrne (shoulder) and Keith Gleeson (calf) are - among others - receiving treatment for niggling injuries but stand more chance of playing than captain Reggie Corrigan and Shane Horgan who are on the road back from long standing knocks.
Ireland duo Brian O'Driscoll and Girvan Dempsey are confirmed starters, as is Christian Warner who starts at 10 ahead of Nathan Spooner.
Williams will finalise his starting XV either this evening or tomorrow morning.
