Leinster have revealed their team for the Magners League clash against Border Reivers in Donnybrook on Saturday (KO: 7.30pm).

Guy Easterby starts at scrum-half and is joined by fellow retirees Reggie Corrigan and Will Green for Leinster's final home match of the season.

Easterby partners Felipe Contepomi at half-back, with the Argentinean set to captain the side.
