There are also places for Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll, Argentina’s Felipe Contepomi and former Tigers duo Shane Jennings and Leo Cullen.
The uncapped prop Cian Healy and fly-half Jonathan Sexton are included in the squad and are among 12 Leinster players named this week in the national squad ahead of the Six Nations.
