Leinster make two changes for Ulster

The Leinster team to face Ulster in Saturday's Magners League clash at the RDS shows two changes from the team that beat Scarlets last weekend.

The changes come in the pack, with Stan Wright coming into the front row to line up alongside Cian Healy and John Fogarty.

Malcolm O'Kelly, a second half replacement for Nathan Hines during the 39-7 victory over the Scarlets, starts alongside skipper Leo Cullen with Kevin McLaughlin continuing his back-row partnership with Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip.

The backline remains unchanged which means that there are five full Ireland internationals including Eoin Reddan - who again partners Shaun Berne at half-back - and Brian O'Driscoll who starts at centre alongside Gordon D'Arcy.

The replacements bench will be confirmed closer to kick off with a vacancy remaining over the second row position.

Leinster team to play Ulster in the Magners League at the RDS on St Stephen's Day: Rob Kearney, Shane Horgan, Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy, Isa Nacewa, Shaun Berne, Eoin Reddan, Cian Healy, John Fogarty, Stan Wright, Leo Cullen, Malcolm O'Kelly, Kevin McLaughlin, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip
