Rugby –Team news:Stan Wright will make his first start of the season for Leinster when they take on Benetton Treviso in tomorrow night's Magners League clash at the RDS (kick-off 7.10pm).
Wright has been sidelined with an Achilles injury for the best part of five months, but the Cook Islander prop got a vital 20 minutes under his belt when he came on for Clint Newland in last weekend’s defeat against Cardiff.
The 32-year-old comes into the frontrow alongside Richardt Strauss and Heinke van der Merwe, with Ireland international Kevin McLaughlin named in the backrow alongside Dominic Ryan and Stephen Keogh.
Fullback Isa Nacewa will wear the captain’s armband for the first time and is included in a backline which welcomes back David Kearney.
Rhys Ruddock is one of seven replacements who have come through the Leinster Academy in recent years, with a further eight graduates in the starting line-up.
Treviso travel to Dublin in the hope they can replicate the unexpected 29-13 win over Leinster in the round three reverse fixture at the Monigo Stadium last September.
Tries by Luke McLean and Brendan Williams, combined with points from Tobias Botes and drop goals by Kristopher Burton gave the Italian side a night to remember.
Coach Franco Smith was forced to make changes due to a number of his players on Six Nations international duty.
Joseph Maddock replaces Brendan Williams at fullback while Benjamin De Jager will start on the left wing. Tobias Botes is unavailable and is replaced at scrumhalf by Ludovico Nitoglia.
The frontrow changes entirely from the side that lost to Ospreys with Michele Rizzo and Enrico Ceccato both starting. Ignacio Fernandez Rouyet starts at tight-head prop to make up for the absence of Lorenzo Cittadini.
