Sexton returns for Leinster

Jonathan Sexton makes his return to the Leinster side to play Munster in Saturday's Magners League semi final at the RDS on Saturday (kick off: 8pm).

Isa Nacewa, who kicked 17 points in the 37-28 victory over Edinburgh last weekend, moves to the left wing and forms a back three with Shane Horgan and Rob Kearney.

Shane Jennings leads the team for the fifth time this season in the absence of the injured Leo Cullen and Malcolm O'Kelly will step in for Cullen in the week of the announcement of his retirement.

The replacements bench will be confirmed closer to kick off.
