O'Driscoll gets Leinster armband

Chris Keane and Shaun Berne will form an unfamiliar half back pairing for Leinster against Ulster in tomorrow night's Magners League clash at Ravenhill (KO: 6pm).

In the absence of Leo Cullen, Brian O'Driscoll will captain the side in a centre partnership with Gordon D'Arcy who is under pressure to perform given Luke Fitzgerald's selection there last week.

Prop Ronan McCormack and lock Devin Toner come into the pack with CJ van der Linde once again named on the bench.
