There are seven changes to the Leinster team for the trip to face the Scarlets in Parc y Scarlets tomorrow evening.
Cian Healy will start his first Leinster game since September as part of a completely new front row.
Sean Cronin and Marty Moore also come into the side, as the trio look to gain game time having started last weekend’s Six Nations win over England on the bench.
Mike McCarthy comes into the second row to partner Kane Douglas, while Rhys Ruddock captains the side from the back row.
Jack Conan is also selected at Number 8, having recovered from the ankle injury that made him a late withdrawal from the starting team against the Ospreys last Friday.
Just two changes in the back line, with Luke Fitzgerald replacing Dave Kearney on the left wing.
Kearney starts the game on the bench.
And Eoin Reddan comes in at scrum half ahead of Isaac Boss.
Ben Te'o also takes his place in the centre alongside Gordon D’Arcy.
There had been some doubt over whether Te'o would be available to play, having been cited during the week for an alleged strike to an opponent's head in the Ospreys clash.
But an independent disciplinary panel yesterday cleared Te’o to play, having found that, while his actions had constituted foul play, it did not warrant a red card.
The game takes place at the Parc y Scarlets on Saturday, with kick off at 5.15pm.
