Leinster to name squad for Ulster clash

Leinster coach Michael Cheika is due to announce his squad today for Sunday's Magners League clash with Ulster at the RDS.

The game is a crucial one for Leinster and could see the defending champions regain top spot in the league table if Munster slip up against Glasgow on Friday.

It is unclear if Cheika will rest Brian O'Driscoll and the other stars of Ireland's Grand Slam-winning side.

Munster coach Tony McGahan is expected to include the bench players when he names his squad tomorrow, but is expected to rest players from the Irish starting 15, including Paul O'Connell and Ronan O'Gara.
