Matt O’Connor’s made 11 changes to the Leinster side for tomorrow’s Guinness Pro 12 clash with the Cardiff Blues.

Moore’s back in the side for the first time since suffering a shoulder injury in October and forms part of a new front row, alongside Michael Bent and Sean Cronin.

Tom Denton and Kane Douglas make up the second row, while Dominic Ryan returns at Number 6 after suffering concussion against Munster on St. Stephen’s Day.

Rob Kearney captains the side from full back, while Ben Te'o starts at outside centre for his first appearance since breaking his arm in October.
