Leinster bring back big guns

LEINSTER will be at full strength for their Heineken Cup semi-final dress rehearsal against Llanelli Scarlets in the Celtic League at Lansdowne Road tomorrow night (7.10).

Gordon D’Arcy, Emmett Byrne and Reggie Corrigan are added to the squad that defeated Border Reivers 35-34 at Netherdale last weekend. Also included are Shane Horgan, Felipe Contepomi, Keith Gleeson, Brian O’Driscoll, Malcolm O’Kelly, Bank of Scotland Leinster Player of the Month for February/March Kieran Lewis and former Llanelli player Guy Easterby.

Despite the mounting hype about the clash with Munster on Sunday week, Leinster coach Michael Cheika is adamant his full focus is on retaining top spot in the Celtic League.
