Cheika leaves things as they were

Leinster are unchanged for tomorrow's Celtic League decider against Cardiff in the Arms Park

Leinster are unchanged for tomorrow's Celtic League decider against Cardiff in the Arms Park. Michael Cheika's side travel to the Welsh capital knowing that a win and a bonus point will secure the title, but away wins in this league a far from a formality, especially against the Blues.

Cardiff are also still in with a shout, but they must rely on bottom side Borders overcoming second placed Ospreys.

Despite missing training this week Shane Horgan will again lineout in the centre for Leinster, alongside Gordon D'Arcy. Rob Kearney will start on the right wing as he did for the 31-0 win over Borders last weekend.

Outhalf Felipe Contepomi, the tournament's second highest points scorer behind Dan Parks, will captain the side and will be partnered by scrumhalf Chris Whitaker.
