Dempsey and Fitzgerald in Leinster squad

Girvan Dempsey and Luke Fitzgerald have both been included in the Leinster squad ahead of their Heineken Cup Pool 2 clash with Edinburgh in Donnybrook (KO: 5.35pm) on Saturday.

Still, there is no guarantee that Dempsey will make the final 22 as he has not taken any contact in training.

Fitzgerald has been cleared to play a part.

That said, Robert Kearney will be odds-on favourite to retain his place at full back on the back of his rising form and superb individual try against The Ospreys last Saturday.

LEINSTER SQUAD (v Edinburgh):

FORWARDS: Stanley Wright, Reggie Corrigan, Bernard Jackman, Harry Vermaas, Will Green, Trevor Hogan, Malcolm O'Kelly, Cameron Jowitt, Owen Finegan, Stephen Keogh, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip;

BACKS: Girvan Dempsey, Rob Kearney, Shane Horgan, Kieran Lewis, Brian O'Driscoll (capt), Gordon D'Arcy, Luke Fitzgerald, Denis Hickie, Andrew Dunne, Christian Warner, Felipe Contepomi, Guy Easterby, Chris Whitaker.
