There are eight changes to the Leinster team for tomorrow's Guinness PRO12 clash with Edinburgh at the RDS.
Ben Te'o makes his debut at outside centre, as one of three switches in the backline.
He takes the famous Number 13 jersey and will be alongside Noel Reid.
Luke McGrath also comes in at scrum half.
There are five changes in the pack.
Tadhg Furlong and Richardt Strauss come into the front row,
Tom Denton is in the second row- he will start alongside Kane Douglas.
Jack Conan makes his fifth appearance of the season at Number 8.
And Kevin McLaughlin returns from a knee injury to captain the side from the back row.
McLaughlin has been out of action since the early September win over Scarlets.
Shane Jennings, Dave Kearney, Jordi Murphy and Fergus McFadden are all still out, despite returning to training recently.
The game kicks off at the RDS on Friday evening at 7.35pm.
