Team News?

Johnny Sexton is has not featured since Ireland's Six Nations win over England that sealed the 2023 Grand Slam, and he will definitely be out of the game.

Head coach Cullen admitted that Sexton was unlikely to play again in his last season for the province.

And speaking after Leinster booked their place in the Champions Cup final, which takes place at the Aviva Stadium on May 20, the head coach revealed that that remained the assessment.

He said: "No, I'd be shocked at this point in time."

Elsewhere, Kelleher (shoulder), Robbie Henshaw (quad) and Joe McCarthy (ankle) are in line to return to action in Saturday’s URC quarter- final clash.

But Vakhtang Abdaladze (neck), Ed Byrne (tricep), Rhys Ruddock (hamstring), James Lowe (calf), Jamie Osborne (knee) and Martin Moloney (knee) remain out.

Lineups TBA.

Tickets?

Only the lower tier of the Aviva Stadium will be open this weekend, capping the capacity at 19,000, slightly larger than that of the RDS which is unavailable because of three Bruce Springsteen gigs.
