Leinster head coach, Leo Cullen, has rung the changes for their visit to Connacht tomorrow night in the Champions Cup.
Johnny Sexton returns for his first appearance for the province since January as the provinces clash in the first leg of their last sixteen tie.
The St Mary’s College man will be joined in the half-backs by Luke McGrath, playing inside the same back line that started against Munster.
Hugo Keenan remains at full-back with Jimmy O’Brien, scorer of four tries in Leinster’s last European outing, and James Lowe on the wings.
