Miss the Six Nations, Pro 12 just not doing it for you, then rejoice because the Champions Cup is here and we the big team news for Leinster is in.

Matt O'Connor is once again able to call on his fully fit squad and there's room for plenty of returning internationals with Rob Kearney Cian Healy, Devin Toner, Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip among those named in the starting XV to take on Bath at 3.15 p.m. at the Aviva on Saturday.

As has been the case for most of the season so far Matt O'Connor has opted for Jimmy Gopperth at no. 10 with Ian Madigan lining out in the centre alongside Ben Te'o.

Elsewhere, Isaac Boss has been preferred to Eoin Reddan at scrum-half.
