Leinster have named captain Johnny Sexton in the starting team for Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup Semi-Final in the Aviva Stadium.

The Ireland out-half comes back into the side after a quad injury kept him out of their quarter-final victory over Ulster.

The Leinster team sees Robbie Henshaw partner Garry Ringrose in a formidable looking centre partnership while there is also room for James Lowe to start on the wing as Hugh O'Sullivan is on the bench as the replacement scrum-half.

Cian Healy, Seán Cronin and Tadhg Furlong start in the front-row with James Ryan and the fit-again Devin Toner in the second row.
