Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has named his team for Sunday's crucial European Champions Cup game away to Toulon.

Ten of the starting 15 started last season's semi-final defeat against Toulon.

One player who's not involved is Sean O'Brien.

He'll be out for at least a couple of weeks with an inner ear problem.

It could have originated at the World Cup, and has shown similar symptoms as concussion.

Head-coach Leo Cullen hopes he could return soon

Cullen is confident that Josh van der Flier is up to the job of facing the most dangerous back row in Europe.

The 22-year-old flanker has yet to start a match in Europe, but has impressed in five PRO 12 starts this season.

Cullen's looking forward to seeing how he does

Flanker Rhys Ruddock is relishing the opportunity in trying to stop Ma'a Nonu.

The double World Cup winner with New Zealand made his debut for Toulon last week.

The former All Black starts against Leinster in the Champions Cup and Ruddock needs no reminding of the threat he poses

Kick off at the Stade Felix Moyal is 4.15pm Irish time.

Former Leinster men Mal O'Kelly, Paul Wallace and Victor Costello will join Jamie Moore on 98FM this Sunday from 9am to preview the game on Now That's What I Call Sport
