What’s been going on in the lead up?
Leinster will be without key players such as Tadhg Furlong, Gary Ringrose and Josh van der Flier due to injury Jacques Nienaber confirmed during the week and Tommy O’Brien was doubtful but makes the starting XV.
Hugo Keenan was a shock exclusion from the squad with no prior warning before the squad announcement.
Last years winners Glasgow Warriors are quietly confident going into the fixture as opponents Leinster look to avoid getting knocked out in the semi-finals for the fourth year in a row in this competition.
Glasgow centre Tom Jordan said: “All the players know deep down what we have to do.
“We’ve got to relish these matches and we know what it takes in this competition.
“Everyone’s excited to get out to Dublin, and we’re ready to get stuck in this weekend.”
The last meeting between these sides was somewhat of a dead-rubber as both teams had already secured home quarter-final places in the URC, but today’s match is far from a dead-rubber.
