The Magners League leaders are boosted by the return from injury of Jonathan Sexton and Leo Cullen who are in contention for selection when the final panel is announced on Thursday morning.

The duo are joined in the enlarged Leinster squad by returning Ireland stars Luke Fitzgerald, Jamie Heaslip, Shane Horgan, Bernard Jackman and Rob Kearney.

The likes of Felipe Contepomi, Chris Whitaker and Ollie le Roux are also included after each impressing in recent weeks for the province.

Leinster look set to expect another big crowd for the visit of Glasgow on Good Friday as close to 14,000 tickets have already been sold in advance of the Scottish visit.
