Caelan Doris has been named at openside flanker in place of the injured Josh van der Flier for Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup clash with Leicester tomorrow night.
World player of the year Van der Flier misses out with an ankle injury suffered in last weekend's win over Ulster, while fellow Ireland backrow Doris returns in the seven shirt after missing the last two Leinster games through injury.
The Mayo native, who was injured in Ireland's final Six Nations match on 18 March, normally occupies the number 8 or 6 berth.
Elsewhere, as expected, Garry Ringrose returns at second centre with Jimmy O'Brien moving to the wing in place of Jordan Larmour, while the rest of the side remains unchanged for the quarter-final tie at the Aviva Stadium (8pm).
Hugo Keenan starts at full-back with James Lowe named on the left wing.
Ringrose and Robbie Henshaw form the centre partnership for the first time since October’s win over Munster, with Ross Byrne and Jamison Gibson-Park completing the back line.
Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong make up the front row for the second week running.
James Ryan captains the team and is partnered in the second row by Ross Molony.
Doris is joined by Ryan Baird and Jack Conan, with Baird set to win his 50th Leinster cap.
On the bench, there are no changes from last Saturday’s win over Ulster.
Meanwhile, Tigers coach Richard Wigglesworth starts Mike Brown at full-back with Freddie Steward moving to the wing. Number 8 Jasper Wiese is promoted from the bench following his man of the match performance in their victory over Edinburgh.
Former Munster and Ireland forward James Cronin continues at loosehead prop.
