PRO12: Changes for Ulster and Leinster

Ulster coach Neil Doak has made four changes and two positional switches to the team that beat Connacht for tomorrow afternoon's match against Leinster in the RDS.

Ruan Pienaar has recovered from injury and starts, while Rory Best and Tommy Bowe, who were rested against Connacht, come back into the starting XV.

Stuart Olding is also included in the side having been on the bench last week, as is Roger Wilson who has recovered from the knock that he sustained against Connacht.

In the backs, Peter Nelson moves to fullback while Craig Gilroy switches flanks from the right to the left wing.

Bowe returns to the side at 14 with Olding selected in the centre alongside Darren Cave.

Paddy Jackson continues at outhalf with Pienaar named at scrumhalf.

In the front row Callum Black and Wiehahn Herbst are selected either side of Captain, Rory Best.

The second row remains unchanged with Dan Tuohy partnering Franco van der Merwe.

There are also no changes to the backrow with Wilson continuing at Number 8, Robbie Diack starting at blindside and Clive Ross selected at openside.

Man of the match from last week, Rob Herring, starts on the bench as do forwards Andrew Warwick, Bronson Ross, Alan O'Connor and Sean Reidy.

Backs Paul Marshall, Ian Humphreys and Luke Marshall complete the match-day squad.

Ulster XV: P Nelson, D Cave, S Olding, C Gilroy, P Jackson, R Piennar, C Black, R Best (capt), W Herbst, D Touhy, F van der Merve, R Diack, C Ross, R Wilson

Replacements: R Herring, A Warwick, B Ross, A O'Connor, S Reidy, P Marshall, I Humphreys, L Marshall.

Leinster coach Matt O'Connor has made five changes in personnel to the team that faced Munster, with captain Jamie Heaslip and a host of other internationals returning to the fold.

Four of those changes are in the pack with Jack McGrath and Mike Ross starting in the front row, with Richardt Strauss continuing at hooker.

Devin Toner comes back into the second row to partner Mike McCarthy, while in the back row Jamie Heaslip starts at eight which means a start at blindside flanker for Jack Conan. Shane Jennings start at openside to complete the forwards.

In the backs, there is only one change which sees the fit again Fergus McFadden start on the right wing in place of Darragh Fanning. McFadden had surgery on a thumb injury after the game against the Ospreys.

Dave Kearney is selected on the left wing, with 28 times capped Springbok, Zane Kirchner at full back.

Gordon D'Arcy, who won his 250th Leinster cap against Munster, starts at inside centre with Luke Fitzgerald outside him at 13. Finally, Isaac Boss and Ian Madigan are once again the starting half backs.

There is also a place in the match day 23 for the returning Ben Te'o, who is available for the first time since fracturing his forearm during his debut against Edinburgh in October.
