McLaughlin taken well by Iannone who gets off the line with some good speed. Ball unplayable and Leinster awarded the scrum just 5 out. Prime platform

Maul comes on and hosts edging towards the line.

Zebre player not rolling away, Berryman with the offence and Madigan goes to the far corner this time. Leinster LO 5 out to come

Strauss goes to the tail but the maul is dragged down well. Play brought back out to the 22 now

Penalty Leinster for a shoulder charge. Cullen tells Madigan to put it into the corner. Leinster LO to come, within 10 of the Zebre line

Boss looks for a break up the shortside and we've got a flag on the play. Looks as though Boss was taken out as he chipped ahead

Underway here and its a false start as Zebre's kick goes flying over the touchline. Leinster scrum on halfway. Disastrous start

Madigan leads Leinster out for his 100th cap. Minutes from KO here

Hello and welcome along to our live coverage of Leinster Vs Zebre. For the next 80 minutes or so, we're at the RDS for a top Vs bottom clash as Leinster welcome their Italian counterparts to Dublin. Several internationals from the recent Irish success feature for the hosts today, with the likes of Mike McCarthy, Jordi Murphy, Ian Madigan and Fergus McFadden all named in the starting XV. For Zebre, much of the onus for their performance will be on the shoulders of backrowers Vunisa and Van Schalkwyk who have been impressive thus far this campaign. Tadhg Furlong is afforded a chance to shine on the tighthead and forms a strong front-row pairing alongside Bent and Strauss. Looks certain to be a one-sided affair here at the RDS if records and form are anything to go by, but this league has been known to produce an upset or two along the way. Stay with us for live coverage and commentary throughout the 80 minutes. Any predictions folks?

Should be good fun Conor
