Luke McGrath captains Leinster against the Sharks in the URC Quarter Final

Luke McGrath (pictured below) captains the team, as his half-back partner Harry Byrne is set to make his 50^th Leinster appearance, from fly-half.

Hugo Keenan starts at full-back, with Jordan Larmour and Dave Kearney named on the wings.

Ciarán Frawley and Charlie Ngatai form the centre partnership for the first time this season, with Byrne and McGrath completing the backline.

Michael Milne and Tadhg Furlong pack down either side of Dan Sheehan in the front row, with Ryan Baird and Jason Jenkins in the heart of the pack.

Max Deegan and Scott Penny come into the back row, with Caelan Doris moving to number eight.

On the bench, there is a welcome return from injury for Joe McCarthy (pictured above), who is in line to feature for the first time since January.
