Leinster coach Michael Cheika welcomes back Brian O'Driscoll and Girvan Dempsey into the side to play Gloucester in the final Pool 2 Heineken Cup clash in Kingsholm on Friday.

O'Driscoll mastered a calf injury and Dempsey has been preferred to the rehabilitated Rob Kearney at full back.

Hooker Brian Blaney returns to the bench as Cheiak goes for the greater physicality of Bernard Jackman.
