There's no place for Mike Ross in Leinster's matchday squad for tomorrow's meeting with Castres at the RDS (5.30pm).

As expected, Marty Moore starts at tighthead. Tadhg Furlong has leapfrogged 35-year-old Ross, who has started every single Ireland game during the Joe Schmidt era - into a place on the bench.

Ian Madigan is preferred to Gordon D'Arcy at inside centre.

Captain Jamie Heaslip starts at number 8 while Jimmy Gopperth is at out-half. Luke Fitzgerald gets the number 13 jersey.
