The Irish province were defeated 24-21 by Stade Rochelais at Stade Vélodrome on May 28 but will be looking to go one better on the domestic stage this month.

For another shot at a trophy, Leinster must overcome South African outfit Bulls, who will compete in the Heineken Champions Cup next season, at the RDS Arena.

The four-time European champions have made two alterations to the XV who started their quarter-final drubbing of Glasgow Warriors, bringing in Robbie Henshaw and Jack Conan.

Henshaw replaces Ciaran Frawley at inside centre, while Conan starts at No.8, with Ryan Baird dropping to the bench and Caelan Doris sliding across to blindside flanker.

EPCR European Player of Year Josh van der Flier continues at openside flanker, while influential fly-half Johnny Sexton is among the replacements, having recovered from an injury sustained in the defeat to La Rochelle.

Leinster Rugby take on Bulls in the United Rugby Championship play-off semi-finals on Friday night with the aim of qualifying for a second final in two months following their Heineken Champions Cup adventure in Marseille.
