Team news: Brian O'Driscoll will make his first Celtic League start for Leinster in three months while fellow internationals Shane Horgan and Gordon D'Arcy have both been rested for the trip to Borders tomorrow night.
Michael Cheika's starting line-up shows four changes to the side that famously beat Toulouse in the Heineken European Cup last weekend. Rob Kearney starts on the right wing while Ronan McCormack starts in the front row alongside Brian Blayney and Will Green. Niall Ronan also comes into the backrow.
D'Arcy, like Felipe Contepomi, had taken a slight knock in last weekend's game and it appears Cheika will take no chances with his inclusion. D'Arcy and Horgan are both named on a replacement list to be confirmed closer to the 9pm kick-off.
Leinster, on 46 points, are currently third in the standings behind their Heineken Cup semi-final opponents Munster (on points difference) and league leaders Ulster (48 points). With both sides above them in action on Saturday, a win at Netherdale would send Leinster top, a feat they have yet to manage in the brief history of the competition.
Meanwhile Munster make three changes to the side which beat Perpignan ahead of their trip to Rodney Parade to take on Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Ronan O'Gara, Denis Leamy and Marcus Horan will not travel as the trio all picked up minor injuries during last weekend's win.
In addition Christian Cullen injured his hamstring in training while Denis Fogarty hurt his hand. Both are ruled out this time around but should be available for the Edinburgh game.
The Dragons show four changes to the side which denied Ulster a bonus point a fortnight ago. Wing Gareth Wyatt has recovered from a stress fracture to his shin and comes in for Nathan Brew who switches to the other wing in place of Richard Fussell.
The other changes are in the forwards with Welsh internationals Ian Gough and Michael Owen returning for Andrew Hall and Rhys Oakley respectively. Luke Charteris makes his first start of the year having recovered from his shoulder injury.
