Jonathan Sexton, Isa Nacewa, and Dan Leavy have been pronounced available for selection and will help the Irish team pull off a European Cup-Pro 14 double.

Sexton and Leavy missed last week's semi against Munster (a 16-15 nailbiter) and Nacewa played, but was replaced mid-game due to injury.

But fans will be pleased to hear that flyhalf Sexton, flanker Leavy (53 caps for Leinster), and utility back Nacea (184 appearances, 706 points) will all be able to play.


“He’s sore at the moment," said Leinster scrum coach of Nacewa. "We’re hopeful that he can get himself through the week and get on the field. He’s obviously very important to us on the field, but spiritually, to the group, he’s extremely important. I think everyone’s pulling for him to get on the field.”
