Leinster coach Matt Williams has named an unchanged team from the one that defeated Glasgow last weekend ahead of Saturday’s Celtic League final against Munster at Lansdowne Road.

Full back Girvan Dempsey is passed fit to play after recovering from a badly bruised leg.

Open side Keith Gleeson has reportedly trained well after sustaining a dead leg and will start at open side.

Andy Dunne and Emmet Byrne are still suffering from injury and were not considered.

Meanwhile, Munster coach Declan Kidney has a number of injury concerns aside from David Wallace, John Hayes and Rob Henderson who have already been ruled out through injury.

Hooker Frankie Sheahan picked up a groin strain in last Saturday's 15-9 semi-final victory against Ulster at Lansdowne Road. Scrum-half Peter Stringer is still having problems with the ankle injury that kept him out of Munster’s semi-final victory over Ulster last weekend.

Munster are expected to announce their team at 4 p.m.
