The Leinster team are set to be without a host of key players for the visit of Toulouse in their crucial Champions Cup clash on Saturday.

It has been confirmed that Johnny Sexton, Rob Kearney, Devin Toner, Dan Leavy are all out while Robbie Henshaw will also be unable to feature against the Top 14 outfit. Henshaw recently returned from a hamstring injury to train with the province but has been deemed not fit for tomorrow's tie.

Conor O'Brien is in line for his debut having been called up to the bench while Adam Byrne and Dave Kearney start on the wings. Noel Reid will operate as out-half cover from the bench.
