Leinster show two changes for Newport clash

Leinster have announced two changes ahead of Friday night's Heineken Cup clash with Newport in Wales. Matt Williams recalls the fit again Brian O'Driscoll after missing last Friday's 21-6 victory over Newport at Donnybrook with a knee injury, while Australian Adam Magro returns to the bench.

O'Driscoll will take his place alongside Shane Horgan in the centre, while Girvan Dempsey's continuing achilles tendon problem means Peter McKenna will start at full-back. Dennis Hickie, who was instrumental in Ireland's recent Six Nations wins over Wales and England, is included despite picking up a shoulder injury against Newport.
