Leo Cullen will make his 140th appearance for Leinster when he captains the province against Edinburgh in the Magners League at the RDS on Saturday, kick-off 6.05pm.
Dominic Ryan, fresh from his late try in the 18-6 victory over Connacht last weekend, starts in the back-row alongside Shane Jennings and Stephen Keogh.
In the backline, Shane Horgan makes his 189th appearance for the province and the Boyne man forms an exciting looking back three with Isa Nacewa and Andrew Conway, with Paul O’Donohoe partnering Ian Madigan at half-back.
In a further boost, Shaun Berne takes his place amongst the replacements for the first time since May where he is joined by Ireland internationals Isaac Boss and Rhys Ruddock.
