Ross left out altogether for the visit of Castres

There's no place for Mike Ross in Leinster's matchday squad for tomorrow's meeting with Castres at the RDS (5.30pm).

As expected, Marty Moore starts at tighthead. Tadhg Furlong has leapfrogged 35-year-old Ross, who has started every single Ireland game during the Joe Schmidt era - into a place on the bench.

Ian Madigan is preferred to Gordon D'Arcy at inside centre.

Captain Jamie Heaslip starts at number 8 while Jimmy Gopperth is at out-half. Luke Fitzgerald gets the number 13 jersey.
