Shane Jennings starts again after a successful return from injury last week and captains a Leinster side with six changes from last weekend's victory over Connacht. Jimmy Gopperth is demoted to the bench with Ian Madigan given the chance to impress at outhalf today. He will partner Isaac Boss at halfback.

Munster will be looking to complete the double over Leinster and also end a three game losing streak here today in front of a sold out crown at Thomond Park. Felix Jones returns to captain the side from fullback and is one of eight changes Anthony Foley makes to his side from last weekend's game against Glasgow.
