Sean Cronin has won his fitness battle and will take his place in the starting line-up for Leinster in Saturday’s Champions Cup final against Saracens.
The hooker, who is the tournament's top try-scorer this season with six so far, had been a doubt with a hamstring injury but has now been cleared to play.
Cronin's availability means Leinster head coach Leo Cullen is able to name an unchanged side from the team which beat Toulouse 30-12 in the semi-finals.
He forms a formidable front row with props Cian Healy and Tadhg Furlong as the Irish side go in search of a record fifth triumph.
It will be a special day for Furlong too, who makes his 100th appearance in a Leinster shirt. It is also the final time flanker Sean O'Brien will line up for the Blues in European competition before joining London Irish.
Leinster: Rob Kearney, Jordan Larmour, Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw, James Lowe, Johnny Sexton, Luke McGrath, Cian Healy, Sean Cronin, Tadhg Furlong, Devin Toner, James Ryan, Scott Fardy, Sean O'Brien, Jack Conan
Replacements: James Tracy, Jack McGrath, Michael Bent, Rhys Ruddock, Max Deegan, Hugh O'Sullivan, Ross Byrne, Rory O'Loughlin
