Sean O Brien has been named on the Leinster team for the Heineken Champions Cup Final against Saracens in St James’ Park in Newcastle.

It will be Seans last ever game in the blue of Leinster in a Europan competition.

There’s no room on the side for either of the Byrne brothers from Carlow, Bryan or Edward.

Wexford man Tadhg Furlong will make his 100th appearance for the club on Saturday in Newcastle. The 26-year-old made his debut in November 2013 off the bench against the Dragons.

Elsewhere there is no change to the XV that started the semi-final against Toulouse.

Rob Kearney starts at full back with Jordan Larmour and James Lowe on the wings.

Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose line out in the number 12 and 13 jerseys respectively.

In the half backs Luke McGrath starts at scrumhalf with captain Johnny Sexton at ten.

In the pack Cian Healy, Seán Cronin and Furlong start with Devin Toner and James Ryan behind them in the second row.

In the back row, Australian international Scott Fardy starts at six, with Seán O’Brien at openside and finally Jack Conan at number eight.
