Heaslip set to make century against Scarlets
Jamie Heaslip will make his 100th Leinster appearance in Llanelli and is named in a strong line up which includes nine Ireland internationals.
The Naas number eight lines up alongside Kevin McLaughlin and Sean O'Brien in the back-row, with skipper Leo Cullen starts alongside Scotland international Nathan Hines at second row.
Gordon D'Arcy partners Brian O'Driscoll at centre, with Rob Kearney starting at full-back in an exciting back three alongside Shane Horgan and Isa Nacewa with Eoin Reddan partnering Shaun Berne at half-back.
Stan Wright returns from injury for the first time in two months and takes his place on the bench alongside Ireland internationals Bernard Jackman, Mike Ross, Malcolm O'Kelly and Girvan Dempsey.
More than 1,000 Leinster supporters are expected to travel to Llanelli this weekend, continuing the outstanding support for the province both at home and on the road in recent years.
