Leinster will give some of their more fringe players a chance to impress in their Guinness PRO14 game in Scotstoun against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.

Ireland internationals Jonny Sexton, Cian Healy, Tadgh Furlong and Rhys Ruddock are all rested after last week's Heineken Champions Cup victory away in Lyon.

Hugo Keenan, Adam Byrne and Cian Kelleher make up Leinster's three for the trip against their Conference A rivals and of course against last season's beaten finalists.

The half backs are Jamison Gibson-Park and Ross Byrne.

In the pack Peter Dooley, James Tracy and Michael Bent pack down, with Ross Molony as captain from the second row where he is joined by Devin Toner.

The starting XV is completed by Josh Murphy, Will Connors and Caelan Doris.

Among the replacements there is a first senior involvement of the season for Oisín Dowling, while Fergus McFadden makes a welcome return from an elbow injury.

Leinster: Hugo Keenan, Adam Byrne, Jimmy O'Brien, Conor O’Brien, Cian Kelleher, Ross Byrne, Jamison Gibson-Park, Peter Dooley, James Tracy, Michael Bent, Ross Molony, Devin Toner, Josh Murphy, Will Connors, Caelan Doris

Replacements: Bryan Byrne, Ed Byrne, Jack Aungier, Oisín Dowling, Scott Penny, Hugh O’Sullivan, Ciarán Frawley, Fergus McFadden
