Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll is back in the Leinster side for Friday night's Heineken Cup match against Newport at Rodney Parade.
O'Driscoll has recovered from the hand injury sustained in Ireland's victory over England 10 days ago which forced him to sit out the first meeting with Newport in Dublin last Friday.
The provincial side beat their Welsh rivals 21-6 at Donnybrook and O'Driscoll is one of two changes from the team which started that match.
Adam Magro drops to the bench after deputising at centre while Peter McKenna, who scored Leinster's second try against Newport last Friday, will start instead of Girvan Dempsey.
