Kearney included in Leinster squad

Robert Kearney will make his bid for the Heineken Cup final by lining out with Leinster against The Dragons in Saturday's final Magners League game of the season at Rodney Parade (kick off: 5.30pm).

There are no less than nine Academy players included in a squad without any of the starting side from the Heineken Cup semi-final win over Munster.

Paul O'Donohoe could be in line for a start at scrum-half after impressing for Clontarf in last weekend's AIL Division 1 final.
