Jennings to captain Leinster on Saturday

Stand-in captain Shane Jennings will lead Leinster into the Magner’s League final on Saturday.

Coach Michael Cheika, in the last game if his five year reign, has named a strong spine, including Player of the Year Jamie Heaslip and Brian O’Driscoll, in the 25-man squad to counter the obvious free-flowing skills of the Ospreys.

The team will be announced on Friday at lunchtime.

LEINSTER SQUAD (v The Ospreys):

Forwards: J Fogarty, C Healy, J Heaslip, N Hines, T Hogan, S Jennings, S Keogh, K McLaughlin, S O’Brien, M O’Kelly, M Ross, R Strauss, CJ van der Linde, S Wright.

Backs: S Berne; G D’Arcy, G Dempsey, S Horgan, R Kearney, F McFadden, I Nacewa, P O’Donohoe, B O’Driscoll, E Reddan, J Sexton.
