Other than that, the pack and backs pick themselves with Stan Wright and Cian Healy facing into the biggest challenge of their lives.

LEINSTER (v Leicester Tigers):

Backs (12): C Keany, C Whitaker, S Keogh, J Sexton, L Fitzgerald, R Kearney, G D’Arcy, F McFadden, B O’Driscoll, S Horgan, I Nacewa, G Dempsey.
