Kearney back in Leinster squad

Rob Kearney, a victim of the mumps, returns to the Leinster squad to face The Scarlets in Friday night's Magners League clash at The RDS (kick off: 7.45pm).

Fergus McFadden, Stephen Keogh and Trevor Hogan are also added to an extended 24-man squad that includes Brian O'Driscoll and captain Leo Cullen.

It will be the last chance to wish the team well for the last two matches, including the Heineken Cup Final, as well as being a chance to wish Leinster's British & Irish Lions all the best ahead of their tour to South Africa.

A presentation will also be made to the departing Felipe Contepomi by the Official Leinster Supporters Club.
