Director of rugby Ian McGeechan has named an unchanged starting line up for London Wasps clash with Leinster at the RDS on Saturday.

The first meeting between the two champion sides – Wasps Guinness Premiership title holders and Leinster 2007/08 Magners League victors – since the 2006/07 Heineken Cup Quarter Final is set to be a big one with McGeechan only too aware of the challenge that befalls his men in black and gold.

"Leinster are playing very well. They have a very strong side with some outstanding players and we know this will be our toughest challenge of the season so far," he said.

The only change is on the bench where Mark Van Gisbergen, following recovery from a strain to his medial knee ligament, and John Hart return to the fold.
