Leinster to name side today

Leinster Lions will hold a lunchtime press conference today to announce their side to play Ulster on Friday

The venue for their Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Biarritz will also be confirmed.

The announcement of the venue (Donnybrook or Lansdowne Road) for the Heineken Cup quarter is awaited with interest in light of Leicester's decision not to move their game with Munster to a bigger ground to cater for the massive interest from both sets of supporters.

Leinster are expected to name a full-strength side for the game with Ulster at Ravenhill.

ULSTER: B Cunningham; J Topping, S Stewart, A Larkin, R Constable; D Humphreys, N Doak, R Kempson, M Sexton, S Best, G Longwell, J Davidson, A Ward (cap), N McMillan, T McWhirter.

Replacements: J Fitzpatrick, P Shields, M Blair, R Nelson, K Campbell, S Coulter, S Young.
