Lions centres return for Leinster

Lions captain Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy have been picked at centre for Leinster's away date at Glasgow on Saturday.

Shane Byrne will start at hooker and fellow Lions Shane Horgan, Denis Hickie and Malcolm O'Kelly miss out with slight injuries that should not prevent them from taking part in the Celtic Cup quarter-final in just over two weeks time.

LEINSTER (v Glasgow): Girvan Dempsey; Gary Brown, Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy, Kieran Lewis; David Holwell, Guy Easterby; Reggie Corrigan (Capt), Shane Byrne, Ricky Nebbett, Ben Gissing, Leo Cullen, Des Dillon, Keith Gleeson, Victor Costello.

Replacements: Emmett Byrne, David Blaney, Simon Crawford, Shane Jennings, Brian O'Meara, Felipe Contepomi, David Quinlan.
