Shane Horgan will start on the wing for Leinster's Heineken Cup quarter-final tie with the Leicester Tigers at Lansdowne Road on Saturday, while Gordon D'Arcy will start on the bench.
Brian O'Driscoll returns to the starting line-up and will be partnered by Felipe Contepomi at centre.
The tournament's top points scorer - out-half David Holwell - continues his half-back partnership with Guy Easterby, with Denis Hickie lining out on the left wing and Girvan Dempsey operating from full-back.
In the pack, 22-year-old wing forward Ciaran Potts will make his first competitive start in the Heineken Cup having already made three appearances this season. Potts has been named in a strong back three alongside Keith Gleeson and Eric Miller who starts at number eight against his former club.
The side will be captained by Reggie Corrigan who lines up in the front-row alongside Ireland team-mate Shane Byrne and another former Leicester Tiger Ricky Nebbett.
Leinster have named eight substitutes which will be reduced to seven closer to kick off.
