Leinster coach Micheal Cheika has been able to name an unchanged squad for this weekend's daunting trip to France in another make-or-break weekend in the Heineken European Cup.
Leinster top Pool Two by virtue of their bonus point win over Agen last Saturday but defeat in the return tie would leave them behind the eight ball once more.
And the Leinster coach, while missing the huge influence of long-term absentees Felipe Contepomi and Will Green, was today afforded the luxury of drawing from the same pool of players that turned out last weekend after Cameron Jowitt, Chris Whitaker, Denis Hickie, Brian O'Driscoll and Brian Blaney recoverd from their various knocks and illnesses.
O'Driscoll, while clearly suffering from a stomach upset at Lansdowne Road, was nevertheless inspirational for Cheika's side, grabbing three of the four tries as their bid for qualification got back on track. Another big performance from the captain will again be needed if Leinster are to avoid defeat at Stade Armandie, where the home side have been virtually unbeatable this campaign.
Meanwhile, tickets for Leinster's New Year's Eve clash with Ulster in Lansdowne Road have now topped the 30,000 mark, meaning there is guaranteed to be a Magners Celtic League record attendance for the last game ever to be played at the old venue.
Leinster: Ronan McCormack, Reggie Corrigan, Brian Blaney, Harry Vermaas, Bernard Jackman, Stanley Wright, Trevor Hogan, Malcolm O'Kelly, Owen Finegan, Cameron Jowitt, Stephen Keogh, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip, Chris Whitaker, Guy Easterby, Andrew Dunne, Christian Warner, Denis Hickie, Rob Kearney, Gordon D'Arcy, Brian O'Driscoll, Kieran Lewis, Shane Horgan, Luke Fitzgerald, Girvan Dempsey
