The Leinster side announced today for the Magners League game against Munster featured Felipe Contepomi as a possible starter just a little over four weeks since he injured a knee playing with Argentina. Contepomi is bracketed with Jonathan Sexton at out-half in a Leinster side that has yet to finalise who will start in six positions. It is unlikely that the actual composition of the Leinster side will be known until the regulatory one hour before kick-off.

For their part Munster have still to decide on who will start at full back, outside centre and loose-head prop. With eight of the side away in Portugal last week for warm weather training, the side will have their first run out together this evening at the Captains Run in Limerick.

Munster: Christian Cullen/Shaun Payne; John Kelly, Barry Murphy/Lifeimi Mafi, Trevor Halstead, Ian Dowling; Ronan OGara, Peter Stringer; Darragh Hurely/Ferderico Pucciariello, Frank Sheahan,John Hayes; Donncha OCallaghan, Paul OConnell capt; John OSullivan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy; Replacements: AN Other, Hurley/Pucciariello, Chris Wyatt, James Coughlan, Tomas OLeary, Jeremy Manning, Murphy/Mafi.
