Leinster name unchanged side

Leinster has named an unchanged side for the Champions Cup final against Saracens tomorrow.

The news means Sean Cronin has been passed fit to play, after he picked up a calf injury in the semi final against Toulouse.

Also fit again is Rhys Ruddock, who will start from the bench.

That means Australian Scott Fardy will start in the back-row - with Jack Conan and Sean O'Brien also included.

Jamison Gibson-Park misses out, which means James Lowe remains on the wing

Gibson-Park's absence also means Hugh O'Sullivan on the bench to cover Luke McGrath.

The team in full is below:

Meanwhile, Saracens have made two changes to the team that beat Munster in the semi-final.

Sean Maitland returns to the wing, while Will Skelton comes into the pack at second-row.

Skelton's inclusion means England international Maro Itoje moves to the back-row.
