Team news: Jamie Heaslip and Will Green have been included in the Leinster squad for Sunday's all-or-nothing Heineken Cup showdown with Bath.
Both have recovered from the injuries that forced them out of the win over Glasgow last weekend and will travel to The Rec, along with an estimated 1,500 Leinster fans, knowing that nothing less than a win will do for Michael Cheika's side.
Already assured of winning Pool 5, Bath will prove more than capable opponents and Leinster will need to be at their best to secure the necessary four points and a likely best runners-up spot.
With a back-line to rival the best in Europe, Leinster will rely heavily on their pack to secure possession against supremely physical opposition and the return of Heaslip and Green is a welcome boost for Cheika, who will name his starting line-up later in the week.
"We’re going to be in better shape than the last time we played Bath and I am hopeful that Jamie Heaslip and Will Green will be right for this game," says Cheika.
"It is a great opportunity for us that we have a chance of qualifying, we knew that it would come down to this after looking the home game against Bath.
"I don't think it is a case of us playing for our season but there is no denying that we are playing for quarter final of an important cup competition."
Cheika continued: "You don't get anything unless you work hard so I don't think it is fair to say that we deserve a place on that basis, but if we work hard we reap what we sow.
"You have got to have trust in the players to play the game and to make the right decisions under pressure."
Meanwhile, Mark Call's Ulster will feature four changes for their 'dead-rubber' away to Treviso on Saturday.
Having lost at home to Biarritz last weekend, nothing more than pride is at stake for McCall's and the coach has taken the opportunity to rest full-back Bryn Cunningham and captain Simon Best.
Slight injuries also rule David Humphreys and Rory Best out with Adam Larkin, Nigel Brady, Bryan Young and Justin Fitzpatrick plugging the gaps.
