Denis Hickie is back in the Leinster starting line-up as they go in search of their first win in the Magner's Celtic League against Cardiff Blues tomorrow.
The Ireland winger has not yet features this season for Michael Cheika's side because of the international commitments but is named on the opposite wing to Luke Fitzgerald, with Rob Kearney at fullback.
Fellow international Keith Gleeson is on the bench alongside prop Reggie Corrigan.
Captain Felipe Contepomi is again partnered by Chris Whitaker in the halfbacks behind a scrum that sees just the one change, with secondrow Adam Byrnes replacing Trevor Hogan who has an ankle injury.
Byrnes will be alongide flanker Stephen Keogh who's aggression against Edinburgh was on of the big plusses for Cheika on the day.
Malcolm O'Kelly is still unavailable due to a groin injury, while a shoulder complaint is keeping Gordon D'Arcy from helping to add to the solitary point Leinster have in the competition so far.
Cardiff have a quick turnaround having been beaten 18-16 by the Ospreys on Wednesday, but have point on the board thanks to that narrow defeat and a win over Munster in the first round of games.
Kick-off in Donnybrook is at 7.30pm.
