Jackman is again joined in the front row by Ollie le Roux and Stan Wright in a pack that shows one change from the eight that started the 24-10 success over the Llanelli Scarlets last time out.
Shane Jennings is joined by the returning Keith Gleeson in a back-row which includes Bank of Ireland Player of the Month Jamie Heaslip. Leo Cullen is again named as captain and starts in the second row with fellow international Malcolm O'Kelly.
In the backline, Girvan Dempsey returns at full-back after featuring as a second half replacement in the Stradey Park victory. Ireland international Luke Fitzgerald lines up alongside Felipe Contepomi at centre, with Rob Kearney moving to the left wing and Shane Horgan continuing on the right wing.
Chris Whitaker continues his half-back partnership with Jonathan Sexton.
The replacements bench will be confirmed an hour before kick off.
As there are other events on in the RDS on Saturday, supporters are encouraged to take Public Transport where possible. There will also be a 'Family Day' with a Canterbury Roadshow, fun Tag Rugby drills and other activities from 5pm behind the Anglesea Stand.
