Irish internationals return to bolster Leinster’s starting XV as they prepare to welcome Wasps to the Aviva on Saturday.
Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong come into the front row to join hooker Richardt Strauss. In the second row Devin Toner returns to partner Hayden Triggs.
In the back row Dan Leavy starts at blindside flanker, with Seán O’Brien at open side, while Jack Conan returns from injury at number eight.
Irish duo Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose form a formidable centre partnership, having played at 12 and 13 for Ireland during the recent Six Nations.
Johnny Sexton and Luke McGrath start together at number 10 and scrum half respectively.
The back three is unchanged from Leinster’s last outing. Captain Isa Nacewa starts on the left wing with Adam Byrne on the right and Joey Carbery at fullback.
