European Cup:Leinster coach Michael Cheika has made four changes from the team that drew 6-6 with Ulster for tomorrow's European Cup clash with Agen at Lansdowne Road.

Girvan Dempsey has recovered from the knock he sustained on Ireland duty against the Pacific Islands and resumes at fullback, with Luke Fitzgerald dropping to the bench.

Christian Warner has won the starting role at outhalf over Andy Dunne, the latter hoping to make the replacements.

Cheika has still not decided whether Dunne or Kieran Lewis will be named on the bench. Fosi Pala'amo's injury means Cook Islands international Stanley Wright, signed this week, gets a first start at tighthead prop.
