Sprinbok CJ van der Linde, an injury doubt, has been included in the extended 29-man Leinster squad to play Munster in Saturday night's Magners League clash at Thomond Park (KO: 7.30pm).

Ulster have completed the signing of Sprinbok prop BJ Botha on a three-year contract.

South African flanker Pierre Spies will have to wait until Tuesday to find out if he can go to the World Cup.
