O'Kelly to win 138th cap for Leinster

Malcolm O'Kelly will become the second most-capped Leinster player of all time with his 138th appearance for the province away to Connacht in the Magners League clash on Friday.

Shane Jennings returns from injury in a back row also containing January's Bank of Ireland Player of the Month Keith Gleeson and Stephen Keogh. Brian Blaney makes a rare start at hooker, flanked by Stan Wright and Ollie le Roux.
