Leinster name team to face Bourgoin

Coach Declan Kidney has gone for the southern hemisphere combination of David Holwell and Felipe Contepomi at out-half and inside-centre respectively for Leinster's date with Bourgoin in the Heineken Cup at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.

Ireland centre Shane Horgan has moved out to the wing to accommodate Contepomi, who was in sublime form for Argentina against France and Ireland.

Guy Easterby has been given the nod over Brian O'Meara at scrum-half and there are no surprises in the pack where Eric Miller is preferred to Aidan McCullen and Leo Cullen gets in ahead of Ben Gissing.

Hooker Shane Byrne will join an elite club in European club rugby by earning his 50th cap in the competition.

Leinster: G Dempsey, S Horgan, B O'Driscoll, F Contepomi, D Hickie, D Holwell, G Easterby, R Corrigan (capt.), S Byrne, E Byrne, L Cullen, M O'Kelly, E Miller, S Jennings, V Costello.

Replacements: To be announced.
