Figure image
Leinster have made just one change to the side that beat Munster in the semi-final as they prepare to face Leicester Tigers in Saturday's Heineken Cup Final at Murrayfield.

Jonathan Sexton will partner Chris Whitaker at half-back after injury to Argentina fly-half Felipe Contepomi.

Former Tigers lock Leo Cullen leads the side and he is joined in the forward pack by Shane Jennings who also spent two years at Welford Road before returning to Ireland.

Rob Kearney is named among the replacements alongside fellow Ireland international Girvan Dempsey.
