Kearney, Fitzgerald and Heaslip in for Leinster

As expected Rob Kearney, Luke Fitzgerald and Jamie Heaslip will make their reappearance in the blue of Leinster away to Edinburgh in Saturday's Magners League clash at Murrayfield (KO: 6.30pm).

Kearney goes straight in at full-back with the in-form Isa Nacewa not even on the bench. Fitzgerlad slots in on the left wing with former Clongowes Wood College graduates Gordon D'Arcy and Fergus McFadden in the centre. Shaun Berne moves into out-half as Johnny Sexton slips down to the bench.

Heaslip will play at number eight in a solid back row beside Kevin McLaughlin and Sean O'Brien. Ireland Under-20 Dominic Ryan is an interesting newcomer to the senior squad. The out-and-out blindside will sit on the bench.
