Tickets for Leinster’s United Rugby Championship quarter-final against the Cell C Sharks at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday will have a reduced capacity of 19,000.
The team’s regular home ground at the RDS is staging a Bruce Springsteen concert on three days over the weekend and next week making it unavailable for rugby.
If Leinster win the match and play in the semi-final the following weekend, the capacity can be increased to 27,000 if required.
Leinster also issued an injury update ahead of the match against the Sharks with centre Robbie Henshaw to be further assessed this week. Henshaw picked up a minor quad issue at training last week.
