The Leinster team to face London Wasps in the Heineken Cup Quarter Final in Adams Park on Saturday has been named.
Gordon D'Arcy will make his 50th Heineken Cup appearance for the
province in High Wycombe and will be partnered again by Kieran
Lewis at centre.
There is a familiar look to the back three with Girvan
Dempsey starting at full-back alongside Denis Hickie and Shane
Horgan on either wing.
Felipe Contepomi captains the side and resumes his half-back
partnership with Chris Whitaker.
In the pack, Jamie Heaslip will make his 50th appearance for
the province and is named in a formidable back-row alongside
Stephen Keogh and Keith Gleeson. Reggie Corrigan's next appearance
for Leinster will see him equal fellow Wicklow man Shane Byrne's
record of 135 appearances for the province.
Corrigan is the only change to the panel that defeated
Connacht 30-21 last weekend.
Over 3,000 Leinster supporters are expected to make the trip
to Adams Park to cheer on their side as they bid to win an away
quarter-final for the second year in a row.
