Leinster have delayed confirming Eric Miller's replacement for Friday night's Heineken Cup curtain raiser against Bristol Shoguns at Donnybrook.

Miller suffered a broken bone in his hand during last weekend's Celtic League victory over Newport and with Aidan McCullen, Des Dillon and Ben Gissing all in contention to fill the back-row spot, coach Matt William's has put off making the decision until later in the week as he weighs up his options.

Elsewhere, the team remains unchanged with the team's international stars back in place and Christian Warner once again starting at out-half in place of the injured Andy Dunne.

Leinster: 15. Girvan Dempsey 14. Denis Hickie 13. Brian O'Driscoll 12. Shane Horgan 11. Gordon D'Arcy 10. Christian Warner 9. Brian O'Meara 1. Reggie Corrigan (Captain) 2. Shane Byrne 3. Paul Wallace 4. Leo Cullen 5. Mal O'Kelly 6. Aidan McCullen/Des Dillon / Ben Gissing 7. Keith Gleeson 8. Victor Costello
