Team news: Leinster will be without Shane Horgan when they tackle Toulouse tomorrow afternoon after the Ireland winger failed to shrug off the rib injury that has kept him on the sidelines since the middle of December.
While Horgan misses out, Rob Kearney returns to the side and will replace Gary Brown on the right wing.
With Brian O'Driscoll, who wins his 50th European cap, and Gordon D'Arcy back in tandem in the Leinster midfield, Felipe Contepomi reverts to outhalf with Jonathan Sexton dropping to the replacements bench.
Concerns over the availability of Stanley Wright have proved unfounded and the prop will start in the front-row alongside Bernard Jackman and Stephen Knoop.
Currently trailing the French aristocrats by six points, Leinster desperately need a bonus point win to reignite their qualification drive and will seek to do so in front of what is likely to be a sell out crowd at the RDS.
A limited number of tickets are still available from Spar in Donnybrook while Ticketmaster outlets around the ground will open at 11am tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, new recruit Doug Howlett will make his Munster debut when Declan Kidney's side face Clermont Auvergne on Sunday.
The All Black, who joined Munster over the new year period and was due to get a run before the weather scuppered last weekend's Celtic League match against Ulster, replaces the injured Anthony Horgan on the wing.
Munster, currently leading the way in Pool Six, will be without inspirational captain Paul O'Connell who is still troubled by a back problem.
O'Connell turned out for club side Young Munster last weekend but the injury flared up in training this week. Mick O'Driscoll will continue to deputise in the Munster second row.
"Paul suffered a setback during the week and is not able to train today, " explained Kidney. "So in the circumstances couldn't be included in the squad."
