Tadhg Furlong and James Lowe have both been named in an unchanged Leinster team to face La Rochelle in Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup final in Marseille.

The Ireland pair were doubts after picking up ankle and shin problems respectively in the semi-final defeat of Toulouse a fortnight ago so their availability is a massive boost to the province as it chases a fifth European Cup title this weekend.
