Leinster Rugby head Coach Leo Cullen has announced his match day 23 to take on Scarlets in the Guinness PRO12 Semi-Final tomorrow evening.
Cullen has recalled a number of players that missed out on the Round 22 trip to the Kingspan Stadium and a few others that were out through injury have also returned to the match day squad.
Joey Carbery is selected at full back with Adam Byrne starting on the right wing and captain Isa Nacewa on the left for his 170th cap. Robbie Henshaw has recovered from injury to take his place in the centre with Garry Ringrose outside him in the number 13 jersey.
Cullen has gone with a six two split on the bench with two back rowers in his selection including the fit again Seán O’Brien. Zane Kirchner will be making his final appearance in the RDS Arena tomorrow evening should he be introduced.
