Andy Dunne will now start at outhalf, David Quinlan coming into the replacements.

With Brian O'Driscoll and Malcolm O'Kelly still out of action following their summer exertions down under, there is the opportunity for players like Australian centre Adam Magro and the young Blackrock second row pairing of Bob Casey and Leo Cullen to impress.

Glasgow include their Lions Andy Nicol and Gordon Bulloch,

Leinster: G Dempsey; D Hickie, A Magro, S Horgan, G D'Arcy; A Dunne, B O'Meara; R Corrigan, S Byrne, P Coyle, R Casey, L Cullen, T Brennan, V Costello, K Gleeson.

Glasgow: G Kiddie; J Steel, J McLaren, A Henderson, R Kerr; T Hayes, A Nicol (capt); D Hilton, G Bulloch, L Harrison, S Griffiths, J White, G Simpson, J Petrie, D MacFadyen.
