Leinster Hooker Richardt Strauss makes his first start after nearly five months out with a serious hamstring injury tomorrow away to Zebre.

Noel Reid and Gordon D'Arcy pull on the No 12 and 13 jerseys. This will be Reid's first game since going off after less than a minute in the Round One game away to Glasgow.

Ian Madigan has been named at 10, while Josh Van der Flier makes his full debut as a flanker.

Props Jack McGrath and Marty Moore join Strauss in the front row.

Best of luck on the full debut, @joshvdf! pic.twitter.com/vfFKd32fKG
