Brian O'Driscoll will make his first Leinster appearance since the European victory over Exeter Chiefs and he will partner last week's Man of the Match Gordon D'Arcy at centre for the trip to Limerick. Fergus McFadden picked up a slight calf strain in last Friday's clash against Wasps but should be available for the away trip to Zebre next weekend alongside Jonathan Sexton who will be given an extra week to fully recover from his foot injury.
Ian Madigan's 28-point haul last weekend took him past the 300-point career mark (306 points to date) and he has now scored 202 points in his 26 appearances so far this season.
Sean O'Brien will make his 80th appearance and he is joined in the pack by fellow Ireland international Sean Cronin who makes his 45th appearance in Leinster colours. Leo Cullen leads the team and will be partnered at second row by Quinn Roux, with Shane Jennings recovering from last week's illness to take his place in the back-row alongside O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip.
Kevin McLaughlin is one of four Ireland international forwards named on the bench.
