James Ryan will start for Leinster against Glasgow Warriors in Saturday's BKT URC clash as Leo Cullen makes nine changes to his side.
Ireland lock Ryan made his comeback from injury off the bench in last weekend’s 76-5 win over Zebre.
Jack Conan captains the side from number 8 with Jimmy O’Brien making his 99th appearance in blue, with Tommy O’Brien starting on the opposite wing and Hugo Keenan named at full-back.
Robbie Henshaw will be partnered by Jordie Barrett in the centre for the Aviva Stadium tie (7.35pm).
Sam Prendergast continues at out-half while academy scrum-half Fintan Gunne comes in as his half-back partner.
Conan is joined in the back row once more by Ryan Baird, with Scott Penny coming in at openside flanker.
Ryan returns to make his first start in a Leinster jersey since January and will be partnered in the second row by RG Snyman.
In the front row, Andrew Porter and Dan Sheehan come into the starting line up alongside Thomas Clarkson.
Rónan Kelleher, Jack Boyle and Tadhg Furlong provide reinforcements from the bench alongside Max Deegan and academy second row Diarmuid Mangan.
Luke McGrath offers cover for scrum-half while Ciarán Frawley and Jamie Osborne complete the 23 for Saturday’s meeting with the reigning URC champions.
The hosts are already secure in top spot but Glasgow can move to second if they win and Bulls lose to Dragons at home.
Meanwhile, Scotland centre Sione Tuipulotu starts for the visitors on his return from injury.
