International second row Malcolm O'Kelly will return to the Leinster starting line-up for Friday’s Heineken Cup game against Montferrand in Donnybrook.
O'Kelly has been receiving intensive treatment for a back injury and has been passed fit to play. Aidan McCullen, who deputised for O'Kelly in last week’s match, drops to the bench.
In the absence of the injured Gordon Darcy, Shane Horgan moves to the wing, while David Quinlan will partner his Blackrock team-mate Brian O'Driscoll in the centre.
Montferrand have made two changes to their starting line up with Stephane De Puech and Alexander Castola named in the front row.
