Expected Leinster XV to face Scarlets
- 2916
Leinster are expected to make two changes to their Champions Cup XV to face Scarlets from the line-up that ran out victorious in the quarter-final against Saracens.
One injury enforced change sees Jamison Gibson-Park start for only the second time in this year's tournament as Luke McGrath has failed to recover from a knee injury.
Kiwi wing James Lowe is set to fall victim to EPCR rules on non Irish-qualified players as Wallaby Scott Fardy returns to the blindside-flank in an unchanged back-row.
Leinster have strong firepower on the bench in the shape of six Ireland internationals including the return of Jack Conan to the matchday squad.
Sean O'Brien and Rhys Ruddock are both expected to miss out on selection due to injury leaving Ireland U20 star Max Deegan in line for just his second Champions Cup appearance.
Leo Cullen will name his squad to face Scarlets tomorrow at 12pm with reports from the Irish media suggesting the following matchday 23.
