Captain Isa Nacewa starts at full back, with Barry Daly and Adam Byrne on the wings and
Jamison Gibson-Park and Ross Byrne will again play in the nine and ten jerseys respectively.
In the pack Peter Dooley comes in at loose head and joins Irish internationals Richardt Strauss and Michael Bent in the front row.
Mike McCarthy is again selected at lock but is joined in the engine room by Ian Nagle.
Finally, in the back row Dominic Ryan comes in at number six, which means Dan Leavy moves to open side flanker with Jack Conan continuing at number eight.
