Isaac Boss links up with Jonathan Sexton (now just 13 points shy of the 1,000 point career mark for his home province) at half back, with Isa Nacewa forming an exciting back three alongside British & Irish Lions full-back Rob Kearney and Fergus McFadden.
Curragh man McFadden will make his 94th Leinster appearance - a cap tally he will also share with the recalled Kevin McLaughlin.
Sean O'Brien (calf) is a slight concern and should he fail to fully recover his place will be taken in the panel by fellow Ireland back-rower Rhys Ruddock.
Cian Healy starts in the front row alongside Richardt Strauss and Mike Ross with Devin Toner lining out for the 125th time in Leinster colours.
