Contepomi to lead Leinster's Wasp clash

Michael Cheika has included twelve Irish internationals in an extended Leinster Squad for Saturday's Heineken Cup Quarter Final away to London Wasps at Adams Park.

Brian O'Driscoll is out of the picture and Felipe Contepomi will lead the side in his absence beside Wallaby scrum-half Chris Whitaker and former Wasps England international prop Will Green.

The team will be named at lunchtime on Friday prior to the squad's departure to London. In excess of 3,000 Leinster supporters are expected to make the trip to High Wycombe on Saturday.
