The Leinster team to face Connacht in Saturday's Magners League clash at Donnybrook has been named.
Malcolm O'Kelly returns to the Leinster pack and will partner Trevor Hogan, a second half replacement in Ireland's 51-24 victory over Italy last weekend, in the second row.

Hogan is also joined by the returning Shane Horgan, Girvan Dempsey and Denis Hickie after starring for Ireland in recent weeks.

Vacancies have been left at inside centre and out-half with one from Christian Warner, Gordon D'Arcy, Felipe Contepomi and Jonathan Sexton due to drop to the bench and one other out of the panel.

On the replacements bench, a decision will be made closer to kick off on the reserve prop and outside back replacements.

A limited number of tickets are on sale from the Leinster Rugby Store and from Spar (Donnybrook) as the game looks set to be a sell out.
