Tadhg Furlong and Robbie Henshaw will back up their Ireland Test appearances last Sunday with starts for Leinster this Saturday night after Leo Cullen named a strong side for the derby clash with Ulster at the RDS.

Leinster, the only remaining unbeaten team after five rounds of the United Rugby Championship, will resume their campaign at home with a first interprovincial game of the season and head coach Cullen has pulled no punches with his starting XV, selecting Furlong at tighthead prop after starting all three November Tests for Ireland.
