Cheika names Elsom and van der Linde in squad

Rocky Elsom and CJ van der Linde have been included in an extended Leinster squad to play Munster in Sunday's sell-out Magners League clash at the RDS (KO: 7pm).

It comes as a major boost in light of the injury to Isa Nacewa, which rules the former Aukland Blue out for two months.

It should also serve to bolster an ailing scrum.

The team will be named on Friday lunchtime.

Sunday's game is a sell out and tickets will not be available on the day.

Supporters are encouraged to use public transport.

Gates open at 5.30pm.

BACKS: Chris Whitaker, Chris Keane, Jonathan Sexton, Felipe Contepomi, Brian O'Driscoll, Gary Brown, Shane Horgan, Luke Fitzgerald, Fergus McFadden, Rob Kearney, Simon Keogh, Eoin O'Malley, Girvan Dempsey;
