La Rochelle boss Ronan O'Gara has kept Ultan Dillane in reserve for this weekend's Champions Cup final showdown with Leo Cullen's Leinster at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

The Irish lock come back-row has impressed in the yellow of La Rochelle ever since making the move to the French side from Connacht last year, but he will take his place on the bench with O'Gara opting for a second-row partnership of Romain Sazy and Will Skelton, while Paul Boudehunt, versatile Fijian Levani Botia and Gregory Alldrit make up the back-row.
