Cheika keeps faith with tried and tested

MICHEAL CHEIKA has kept faith with the Leinster side that started last weekend’s 32-7 victory in Parc y Scarlets which means that all four try scorers – Shane Horgan, Gordon D’Arcy, Shaun Berne and Sean O’Brien will start today’s return clash.

Horgan’s try was his 25th in European competitions and he became only the second Leinster player to achieve that milestone after Brian O’Driscoll, who continues his centre partnership with D’Arcy.

In the pack, Kevin McLaughlin makes his 11th appearance of the season and starts in the back-row alongside O’Brien and Jamie Heaslip, who is one of 13 full Ireland internationals in the 23-man squad.
