Pro12 teams: Kirchner starts for Leinster

South African international Zane Kirchner will make his first start for Leinster in Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 game with Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Kirchner is named to start at fullback in a back three which includes the fit again Lote Tuqiri and St Mary's College captain Darragh Fanning.

Luke Fitzgerald, one of four Ireland internationals in the starting line-up, continues his midfield partnership with Noel Reid while there are recalls for Jimmy Gopperth and scrumhalf John Cooney, who makes his 24th appearance for the province.

Michael Bent switches to loose-head in a front row which also includes Aaron Dundon and Martin Moore who trained with the Ireland squad earlier this week.
