DLSP make one change to the side that drew 6-6 with Lansdowne for Saturday's Division One game against Young Munster at Clifford Park. Stephen Cullen replaces Simon O'Donnell at hooker with the latter dropping to the bench.

In Division Two, Blackrock College and Belfast Harlequins have announced strong sides for what promises to be a very entertaining tussle at Stradbrook. Blackrock are able to call on Irish squad members Brian O'Driscoll and Robert Casey while David Quinlan has recovered from injury.

Belfast Harlequins welcome back six foot eight inch second row Alan Robinson following an injury which sidelined the former Ballymena player for three months. Ulster wing Spencer Bromley has recovered from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the province's final two European Cup matches. The visitors field a strong side that includes two New Zealanders in flanker Gerard O'Loan and number eight Mark Roberts.

Old Belvedere are without second row Colm Gleeson, currently on holiday in America, for their game against Dolphin. Right wing Ronan Brown is named but remains doubtful because of exam commitments.
