After last week's disappointing defeat away to Edinburgh, Leinster coach Matt O'Connor has made six changes for their clash with Ulster. 

Brendan Macken is promoted from the bench to replaces Brian O'Driscoll in the centre. Dave Kearney and Jimmy Goperth are also drafted into the back line.

Mike McCarthy comes into the second row to join captain Leo Cullen.

Sean O'Brien and Rhys Ruddock both come in to join Jordi Murphy in the back row.

A win for the 'Boys in Blue' would move them above Ulster and back into the top four. 

Ulster have made nine changes with Paddy Jackson named at number 10, while Robbie Diack has been handed the captains armband.

That game kicks off at the RDS tomorrow at 6:45.
