| Ireland Under-20 Grand Slam winning scrum-half Paul O'Donohoe earns his first Senior call-up and is included in the squad for the trip to Swansea. He joins fellow Under-20 player Cian Healy in the extended squad alongside 13 full Ireland internationals, two of whom - Guy Easterby and Bernard Jackman - are included after picking up recent injuries.
There are also places for experienced international stars Felipe Contepomi, Chris Whitaker, Owen Finegan and Will Green. Leinster defeated the Dragons 23-22 last time out.
The team is expected to be named at lunchtime on Thursday.
Meanwhile, tickets for Leinster's final home game of the season on Saturday week in Donnybrook against the Border Reivers are selling fast with only a limited number of terrace tickets now available on http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/
