Leinster stalwarts back as O'Connor rings changes

Leinster head coach Matt O'Connor has made nine changes to his side for their Champions Cup quarter-final meeting with Bath at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, 3.15pm.

Leinster welcome back all of their Six Nations-winning players, including Rob Kearney who returns at full back, while Fergus McFadden continues on the right wing with Luke Fitzgerald coming onto the left wing.

There is no change to the centre partnership with Ian Madigan at inside centre and Ben Te'o at 13. In the half backs, Jimmy Gopperth is at 10, while Isaac Boss comes in from the start this week having scored two tries when introduced last week in the 34-34 draw with Glasgow Warriors.

There are six changes in the pack with a new front row of Cian Healy, Sean Cronin and Mike Ross starting and Devin Toner coming into the second row alongside Mike McCarthy.

Jordi Murphy retains his place at blindside flanker, while at openside Sean O'Brien makes his first appearance for Leinster since the opening day fixture away to Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun.

And Jamie Heaslip returns to lead the team as captain having not played for Leinster since the final pool game against Wasps in January.

Leinster: R Kearney, F McFadden, B Te'o, I Madigan, L Fitzgerald, J Gopperth, I Boss, C Healy, S Cronin, M Ross, D Toner, M McCarthy, J Murphy, S O'Brien, J Heaslip (Capt).

Replacements: R Strauss, J McGrath, M Moore, T Denton, D Ryan, E Reddan, G D'Arcy, Z Kirchner.
