Earls' midfield partner Andrew Conway will captain Anthony Foley's side, while academy graduate Jack O'Donoghue makes his first Pro 12 start for the province at number eight.
Meanwhile Leinster boss Matt O'Connor has been able to retain six players who started in last month's European Champions Cup draw away at Wasps for tomorrow's visit of Newport Gwent Dragons at the RDS.
Fergus McFadden returns to action following a rib injury he picked dup during Ireland Wolfhounds 18-9 defeat to the England Saxons, starting on the wing.
