Leinster pair Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier passed fit for URC final
Josh van der Flier and Garry Ringrose have overcome injuries to take their place in the Leinster team for Saturday's BKT URC final against Bulls.
However, the game comes too soon for fellow British and Irish Lions duo Tadhg Furlong and Hugo Keenan, who miss out on the Croke Park showdown (Saturday 5pm) with calf issues.
Ireland flanker Van der Flier suffered a hamstring injury in the quarter-final against Scarlets, while centre Ringrose has recovered from a calf injury.
They are the only changes to the side that beat Glasgow in the semi-final.
Joe McCarthy and James Ryan continue their partnership in the second row with Andrew Porter and Thomas Clarkson scrumming down either side of hooker Dan Sheehan.
Ringrose partners Jordie Barrett in the centre, with Jamison Gibson-Park and Sam Prendergast the half-backs.
Tommy O'Brien and James Lowe continue on the wings with Jimmy O'Brien named at full-back once more.
Rónan Kelleher, Jack Boyle and Rabah Slimani provide the front row reinforcements with RG Snyman and Max Deegan providing cover from the bench.
Jamie Osborne moves to the replacements alongside Luke McGrath and the departing Ross Byrne, who is set to make his 186th and final appearance for Leinster.
Meanwhile, Bulls coach Jake White has made one change to the team that beat the Sharks last weekend.
Marco van Staden comes into replace injured back row Cameron Hanekom, with Marcell Coetzee moving to number 8.
Leinster: Jimmy O'Brien; Tommy O'Brien, Garry Ringrose, Jordie Barrett, James Lowe; Sam Prendergast, Jamison Gibson-Park; Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan, Thomas Clarkson; Joe McCarthy, James Ryan; Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan (capt).

URC Grand Final LIVE coverage of Leinster v Bulls from Croke Park
Leo Cullen's Leinster are desperate to finish the season on a high by lifting silverware at Croke Park this evening - and for the first time in four years. Blocking their path are Jack White's wily and experienced Bulls outfit that have made the trip to Dublin after beating fellow South African franchise the Sharks last Saturday. Leinster haven't lost at Croke Park and are hoping their return to the GAA's iconic HQ inspires the right outcome from their point of view after yet more heartbreak in the Champions Cup this term. But the province were hit with a late blow with the news that their world-class scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park is out of the game - Leinster confirmed that the Ireland star was ruled out earlier this afternoon. With Caelan Doris, Tadhg Furlong, Robbie Henshaw and Hugo Keenan already out, the loss of Gibson-Park is a set-back for Cullen and his side in their bid for much-needed final success. Veteran No.9 Luke McGrath comes in for Gibson-Park, with academy scrum-half Fintan Gunne added to the bench. The rain has stopped for now after a wet summer's day in the capital but the ball will be greasy and tensions will be high as both sides aim to lift the trophy.

LEINSTER: Jimmy O'Brien; Tommy O'Brien, Garry Ringrose, Jordie Barrett, James Lowe; Sam Prendergast, Luke McGrath; Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan, Thomas Clarkson; Joe McCarthy, James Ryan; Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan (capt).

Blow for Leinster as Jamison Gibson-Park ruled out of URC Grand final after picking up knock
Leinster's hopes of claiming a first ever BKT URC title have suffered a major blow with the news that Jamison Gibson-Park has been ruled out of Saturday's decider. The scrum-half was pulled from the starting XV this morning having picked up an unspecified knock in last week's semi-final win over Glasgow and failing to train properly during the week. Gibson-Park is a world-class No.9 who is due to tour Australia with the British and Irish Lions this summer. Luke McGrath, an experienced player who has played second-fiddle to Gibson-Park in the last five years, will step up from the bench while the inexperienced Fintan Gunners is added to the bench.
