Brian O'Driscoll returns to the Leinster starting line-up and will make his 100th appearance for the province in Friday night's Magner's League encounter against Edinburgh in Murrayfield (kick-off 7.30pm).
O'Driscoll will partner Felipe Contepomi at centre and in the only other change to the backline that defeated Munster 21-12 last weekend, Luke Fitzgerald moves to the right wing as Shane Horgan is ill.
In the pack, Trevor Hogan will line up in the second row in a pack that also shows two changes, with Stephen Keogh forming the back-row alongside Shane Jennings and Jamie Heaslip.
The replacements bench will be confirmed an hour before kick off.
