Leinster won the competition that year at the at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Rónan Kelleher make his first appearance since picking up a shoulder knock in the Six Nations 

Leo Cullen said: "It's good to see him back, he's come through everything.

We could have pushed him for those Connacht games earlier but he's been working away, training for the last four or five weeks, so he should be good to go. 

We're excited to see him back out there."
