Caelan Doris to captain Leinster against Leicester Tigers

Caelan Doris captains the team for the first time in European competition, as Jamison Gibson-Park and Jack Conan are both set to make their 50th appearance in the Champions Cup.

The starting lineup sees three changes from the team that defeated Leicester in January.

Hugo Keenan returns to start at full-back, with Jordan Larmour and James Lowe named on the wing.
Robbie Henshaw and Jamie Osborne form the centre partnership once more, with Ross Byrne and Gibson-Park linking up at half-back.

In the pack, Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong join forces for the first time since the Guinness Six Nations, in the front row.

Ross Molony and Joe McCarthy are in the heart of the pack, with Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier and Doris in the back-row.

Among the replacements, Conan is joined by Academy scrum-half Ben Murphy and the returning Ciarán Frawley.
