WATCH: Healy starts as Leinster make eight changes for trip to Glasgow
Leinster Rugby head coach Leo Cullen has announced his starting XV for the visit to Scotstoun tomorrow for Round 9 of the Guinness PRO12
There are eight changes to the XV that started last weekend's 8-3 win over Ulster with a further two positional changes in the backs.
Rob Kearney starts at fullback while Zane Kirchner is again selected on the right wing with Dave Kearney comes in on the left for only his second PRO12 appearance of the season.
Luke Fitzgerald moves from the left wing to inside centre for his 145th Leinster cap. Ben Te'o will line up alongside him at 13.
In the half backs Ian Madigan shifts from the centre to number 10, with Eoin Reddan starting at scrumhalf for his 125th appearance in blue. Reddan came on after 31 minutes against Ulster for the injured Luke McGrath who is ruled out of the game with a medial ligament injury to his knee.
It's a completely new front row as Cullen calls up three Irish capped front rowers in Cian Healy, Richardt Strauss and Marty Moore, while Tom Denton comes in to partner Mike McCarthy in the second row.
Rhys Ruddock and Josh van der Flier will start at blindside and open side respectively, while Jordi Murphy comes in at the base of the scrum. Ruddock will also captain the team for the first time this season as he closes in on 100 caps for the province.
