The twelve were all involved in Leinster's match day squad for the RaboDirect PRO12 defeat by Ospreys last time out.

Leinster A: Dave Kearney; Andrew Boyle, Tom Daly, Brendan Macken, Sam Coghlan-Murray; Noel Reid, Adam Griggs; Jack McGrath capt, James Tracy, Jamie Hagan; Tadhg Beirne, Ben Marshall; Rhys Ruddock, Conor Gilsenan, Jordi Murphy.
