Gordon D’Arcy and Brian O’Driscoll will be reunited in the centre for Saturday’s RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final against Glasgow, at the RDS.

D’Arcy has been nursing a calf strain for the past few weeks but has shaken it off to return to action.
Leinster’s major worry on the injury front is Sean O’Brien carrying a calf strain, with his participation still in doubt.

The Leinster back three has a daunting look to it for the visitors, with Isa Nacewa joined by Rob Kearney and Fergus McFadden, while Johnny Sexton and Isaac Boss start at scrum half and out half, respectively.

The front row is an all international affair, with Cian Healy, Richardt Strauss and Mike Ross getting the nod from Joe Schmidt.

Leo Cullen captains the side.
