Leinster without Corrigan and Horgan

Leinster will be without captain Reggie Corrigan and centre Shane Horgan for tomorrow’s quarter-final.

Experienced prop Corrigan had been rated as highly unlikely to face the French champions after struggling to recover from a broken wrist suffered sustained during Ireland’s Six Nations win over Italy in Rome.

Peter Coyle comes into the front row with Emmett Byrne moving across to fill in for Corrigan at number one , while Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll will lead the side in Corrigan’s absence.

Horgan has not played since damaging a thigh muscle in Ireland’s opening Six Nations match in Scotland and his place at centre goes to Ireland A international David Quinlan.
