Team news: Leinster appear increasingly likely to complete the signing of tight-head prop Stan Wright to bolster their front-row ahead of Saturday's Heineken Cup meeting with Agen.

While no announcement will be made until tomorrow afternoon, coach Michael Cheika is left with few alternatives following the injuries to Will Green and Fosi Pala'amo. Pala'amo, who damaged an ankle during the draw with Ulster at the weekend, is rated as extremely doubtful to recover in time to face the massive French pack.

Wright arrived in Dublin on Sunday from Northland in New Zealand and despite having no Super 14 experience is expected to be registered ahead of tomorrow's Heineken Cup deadline.

Elsewhere, with the obvious exception of long-term casualty Felipe Contepomi, Cheika has a full compliment to choose from as the province seek to get their European campaign back on track.

Full-back Girvan Dempsey, who was missing at Ravenhill following the knock he took against the Pacific Islands, is due to return while wing Denis Hickie should win his 50th European cap at Lansdowne Road.
