Luke Fitzgerald is back in the Leinster team to face Castres in the European Champions Cup in France this Sunday.

He starts his first game since March, after returning from injury.

Rob Kearney and Mike Ross are still missing, having not recovered from their knocks.

Fitzgerald is one of three changes to the team that beat Wasps last weekend.

He comes in on the left wing, with Noel Reid dropping to the bench.

That means several positional switches along the back line.

Darragh Fanning swaps to the right wing, Zane Kirchner switches to full back and Ian Madigan starts in the centre.

The other two changes see Isaac Boss start at scrumhalf, in place of Eoin Reddan, while Kane Douglas comes into the second row in place of Mike McCarthy.

The game takes place at 1pm (Irish time) this Sunday.
