The draw for the 2013/14 Heineken Cup took place in the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday afternoon…
Former Leinster, Ireland and Lions legend Shane Horgan was the Master of Ceremonies and he was also a part of the Leinster team who defeated Northampton Saints in the 2011 final in the Millennium Stadium.
Welsh side the Ospreys are familiar foes for Leinster and both sides have enjoyed many exciting battles over recent years in the PRO12.
Leinster have also been drawn against reigning French champions Castres Olympique and the last time the two sides met was in the 2008/09 campaign.
