Kearney on bench for final

Leinster coach Michael Cheika has opted to retain Isa Nacewa ahead of Robert Kearney at full-back in the team to play the Leicester Tigers in Saturday's Heineken Cup final at Murrayfield (KO: 5pm).

The only change from the semi-final comes at out-half where Jonathan Sexton takes over from the injured Felipe Contepomi outside scrum-half Chris Whitaker, playing his final game for the province at half-back.
