Jordi Murphy and Dave Kearney are back in the Leinster team for the trip to face Benetton Treviso on Sunday in the Guinness PRO12.

It will be their first appearance of the season, after overcoming shoulder and knee injuries respectively.

They are the only changes from the victory over Edinburgh last time out.

To accommodate Kearney on the left wing, Luke Fitzgerald moves to outside centre.

Richardt Strauss has been released from Ireland duty to start at hooker, with Michael Bent and Tadhg Furlong either side of him.

Kevin McLaughlin once again captains the side at flanker, beside the returning Murphy, while Jack Conan is in again at No.8.
