Pro12 teams: Big guns back for Leinster

There are seven changes in total to the Leinster team for their match against Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness Pro12 tomorrow evening at 7.35pm.

Head coach Matt O'Connor has made two of those changes in the backs and a further five in the forwards.

Ian Madigan, Eoin Reddan, Marty Moore, Jordi Murphy, Sean Cronin, Cian Healy and Luke Fitzgerald are all included in the match day 23 having featured in Ireland's dramatic 6 Nations win over Scotland last Saturday.

Zane Kirchner makes his 40th appearance in Leinster colours at full back with Fergus McFadden selected on the right wing. Dave Kearney, who came off the bench against Scarlets, starts on the left wing.

In the centre Ian Madigan starts and is selected at inside centre with Ben Te'o outside him at 13 having scored his first try for the province last time out.

Michael Bent and Richardt Strauss start at loosehead prop and hooker respectively, while Marty Moore continues at tighthead.

Tom Denton and Mike McCarthy will lock down behind the front row, with Jordi Murphy, Shane Jennings and Jack Conan completing the pack for his 12th start of the season. Shane Jennings will captain the side in his 205th game for Leinster.
