Coach Sean Lineen has made just one change to the side that narrowly lost 23-19 to Saracens in the European Challenge Cup quarter-final last Sunday as Scott Barrow comes in to replace centre Andrew Henderson who has been ruled out with a damaged left elbow.
Lineen said: "We’ve got a point to prove this week and we want to continue the form from our game against Saracens, particularly from the second half last Sunday.
"We haven’t beaten Leinster in a while and both teams are now fully focused on the Magners League. We’ve got five games left of our season and a lot to prove. We’re hoping for a good crowd as it’ll be a great night for fast running rugby," he added.
