Contepomi fronts Leinster v Dragons

Felipe Contepomi will lead a strong Leinster line-up into Celtic League battle with The Dragons at Rodney Parade on Saturday.

Despite the absence of frontline internationals, the back three of Girvan Dempsey, Denis Hickie and Rob Kearney is full of possibilites.

The back row of Jamie Heaslip, Keith Gleeson and Eric Miller would give the Ireland loose forwards a good run for their money.
