Ireland trio Jamie Heaslip, Shane Horgan and John Fogarty have been named in the Leinster squad for their Magners League clash with the Glasgow Warriors.
The Blues have also announced the signing of tight-head prop forward Ben Prescott from Nottingham, who is in the squad and in the frame for selection on Friday night.
Leinster manager Guy Easterby said of the signing: “We are pleased to complete a deal for Ben and he will add further competition to the pack, especially in light of the unfortunate long-term injury to Stan Wright. Ben trained with the squad this week and we are confident that his experience and ability will be a welcome addition to the panel for the remainder of the season.
Leinster’s clash with the Warriors takes place at Firhill Stadium in Glasgow on Friday night at 7.05pm.
