A host of internationals are back in the Leinster team for Sunday’s Champions Cup tie away to Harlequins.

There are ten changes in all from last weekend’s Guinness Pro 12 win over the Ospreys.

Seven of those changes are in the pack, with Jordi Murphy the only player to keep his place.

He’s joined in the back row by captain Jamie Heaslip and Rhys Ruddock.

Mike McCarthy and Devin Toner make up the second row.

There’s also a completely new front row, made up of returning Irish players Jack McGrath, Sean Cronin and Mike Ross.

There are starts for Rob Kearney at full back and Luke Fitzgerald on the left wing. Both had been doubts through injury.

Darragh Fanning continues his 100 per cent starting record for Leinster this season on the right wing.

Eoin Reddan and Jimmy Gopperth retain their places in the half back line, while Ian Madigan is in at centre alongside Gordon D’Arcy.

Dominic Ryan and Dave Kearney both miss out due to quad and hip issues respectively.

The game takes place on Sunday at the Stoop, with kick off at 3.15pm.
