Nacewa at fullback for Leinster

Isa Nacewa starts at full back in a side which shows a number of changes from the one which started the 42-13 victory over Ulster on St. Stephen's Day. Andrew Conway, who successfully came through his first appearance this season on Monday, starts on the left wing with David Kearney on the right wing.

Brendan Macken partners Eoin O'Malley, who will make his 42^ndappearance for the province, at centre with Isaac Boss linking up with Ian Madigan at half back.

Leo Cullen leads the team and partners Damian Browne at second row with Jamie Hagan joining fellow Academy graduate Jack McGrath in the front row alongside Richardt Strauss who made his 50^thLeinster appearance against Ulster.

Final decisions on the makeup of the back-row, replacement back-row and in the replacement outside back slots will be made closer to kick off.
