Leinster will once again have to do without some key players this Saturday when they take on reigning European champions Exeter Chiefs in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup at Sandy Park.

Among them are James Ryan and Caelan Doris who have both been off the duty roster in recent times due to concussion issues. Senior coach Stuart Lancaster had intimated last week that the pair were unlikely to feature in the event that the club made it to the last eight.
