O’Driscoll set to make 100th appearance on Leinster return

SIX weeks of injury frustration will end in some style for Brian O’Driscoll tonight when he returns to the Leinster line-up for his 100th provincial cap.

Sidelined with a hamstring problem since the Six Nations game against Wales at Croke Park, the Ireland captain will feature alongside Felipe Contepomi in the centre with Luke Fitzgerald shifting to the wing in place of an ill Shane Horgan.

There are two further changes in the pack with Trevor Hogan replacing Malcolm O’Kelly in the second row while Stephen Keogh assumes Keith Gleeson’s slot alongside Jamie Heaslip and Shane Jennings in the back row.
