Luke Fitzgerald has been named on the wing for Leinster on Sunday when Castres welcome them to the Stade Pierre Antoine. This will mark Fitzgerald's first appearance for the province since sustaining an injury back in March.
With Fitzgerald coming in to the left wing, standout performer from last weekend Darragh Fanning moves to the right while Zane Kirchner has moved into full back while Ian Madigan moves to inside centre to partner Gordon D'Arcy. Isacc Boss takes over scrum half duties from Eoin Reddan while Australian import Kane Douglas partners Devin Toner in the second row, with Mike McCarthy taking his place on the bench.
There was some bad news for Head Coach Matt O'Conor as it was announced that Rob Kearney and Mike Ross will play no part in Sunday's action having failed to recover from their groin and back injuries respectively.
