His only selection problems are in the front row. Damian Minassian has a stomach bug and will not make the trip to Dublin, and fellow front row Emmanuel Menieu picked up a thigh strain in Biarritz's 39-30 win over Pau in the French championship last weekend.
But Lagisquet was in fine spirits as he made the squad announcement.
'I have never lost at Lansdowne Road - I remember scoring tries there in the two matches I played in 1989 and 1991.
'But I am really finding it difficult to find any gaps in whatsoever in Leinster's game. They are the one team in Europe who are most like a Super 12 team - their defence is enormous, their game is organised around speed, there is a lot of individual initiative and it is really difficult to destabilise them.
'It will wonderful to play a club game in front of 45 000 spectators at Lansdowne Road. Maybe as French players, we need that sense of occasion to get us going. You could say it's just like France against New Zealand in 1999 because to all extents and purposes, we don't have a chance.
'One thing I can say in our favour is that we love big occasions - that spurs us on.'
