Leinster v La Rochelle: Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw fit to face Ronan O’Gara’s side

Ireland international centre Robbie Henshaw has recovered from a finger injury in time to face La Rochelle this weekend, while the availability of Garry Ringrose, RG Snyman, Rabah Slimani and Harry Byrne will be assessed during the week.

Saturday’s Champions Cup pool stage meeting (17:30 GMT) at the Aviva Stadium will be the seventh contest between the two sides in the competition over the past five years with each side winning three apiece, although two of the French side’s victories came in finals.

Henshaw was injured against Munster on 27 December and missed Leinster’s eight-try win over Connacht on Saturday.

Both prop Slimani and fly-half Byrne were due to be on the bench in that Irish interprovincial derby, but were late scratches from the side.

Second row Snyman and centre Ringrose have both been absent since the Champions Cup opener against Harlequins on 6 December but have returned to training.

Leinster come into the weekend on the back of seven straight victories in all competitions while La Rochelle, despite some struggles this season, beat Toulon 66-0 on Sunday to move into seventh in the Top 14.
