The day couldn't get much better for Leinster fans. It was announced this morning that Sean O'Brien has signed a new IRFU contract and now Richardt Strauss has been named in the Leinster squad for the game against Ospreys on Friday night.
Strauss underwent surgery for a heart condition back in October and has made a rapid recovery to be deemed fit for the final round of Heineken Cup games.
The South African hooker had at one point been ruled out for the entire season.
Leinster just require a point from the game to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Here's the Leinster squad in full:
