Injury boost for Leinster

Brian O'Driscoll and Rob Kearney have both recovered from injury to start for Leinster in Saturday's Heineken Cup final against Ulster.

Ireland captain O'Driscoll was a doubt after undergoing knee surgery last week while Kearney was suffering from a back complaint. However, the duo have both been passed fit to start in a side that makes three changes from the semi-final victory over Clermont-Auvergne. Fergus McFadden, Kevin McLaughlin and Eoin Reddan are in for Isaac Boss, Shane Jennings and Luke Fitzgerald. "You'd want to have a limb falling off not to be able to play in the Heineken Cup final," said O'Driscoll. "One thing about having a longish career is that you learn to deal with having knocks going into games."
