The Leinster team to face Ulster in 'The Last Stand' - the last game ever to be held in the old Lansdowne Road - on Sunday (KO: 2pm) has been named.

There are three changes to the side that played Munster on Wednesday. Rob Kearney starts at full back in place of the injured Girvan Dempsey and forms a pacy looking back three alongside Shane Horgan and Denis Hickie.

Australian international Chris Whitaker partners Jonathan Sexton at half-back.

In the pack, Will Green starts in the front row alongside Ronan McCormack and Bernard Jackman.

Brian O'Driscoll captains the side and partners Gordon D'Arcy at centre, while Guy Easterby - who made his 50th appearance in his last outing for the province - is named on a strong looking bench alongside the likes of Felipe Contepomi, Reggie Corrigan and Kieran Lewis.
