Doubts over Leinster prop duo

There is uncertainty over the fitness of Leinster's two first choice props CJ van der Linde and Stan Wright ahead of their crucial Pool 2 Heineken Cup encounter with London Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday.

Springbok Van der Linde is considered the more doubtful with a toe injury. Wright is nursing a minor knock that could hinder his effectiveness in the nuts and bolts work of the front row.

Leinster coach Michael Cheika brings Shane Jennings straight back into the side ahead of Sean O’Brien at openside and Isa Nacewa stays at out-half in what is a strong lineup.

Ireland internationals Gordon D'Arcy and Girvan Dempsey have to settle for a place on the bench.

For Wasps, Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan brings back three heavy hitters in Josh Lewsey, Simon Shaw and Joe Worsley.

Danny Cipriani will start at flyl-half with Riki Flutey at 12 and Mark van Gisbergen last man back at 15.

The two-time European champions lie three points behind the Irish province in Pool Two. A win would leave them at least on level points going into the final round of matches next week.
