Ollie Le Roux talks with Leinster coach Michael Cheika
The Leinster squad to face Connacht in Friday night's Magners League clash in the RDS has been named.
The same squad has been named for Friday's Interprovincial clash with Felipe Contepomi again missing out. Leinster will be looking to build on last weekend's 16-16 draw in Ulster and can again call on the likes of Brian O'Driscoll, Shane Horgan, Gordon D'Arcy, Girvan Dempsey and Malcolm O'Kelly.
