Leinster and Munster have both announced their teams ahead of their Pro12 games this weekend.
Leo Cullen has made eight changes to the Leinster side that started last weekend's 8-3 win over Ulster with a further two positional changes in the backs for their game away to Glasgow. Rob Kearney is again selected to start from full back after being originally named in last week's team before pulling out injured.
Zane Kirchner is again selected on the right wing with Dave Kearney coming in on the left. Luke Fitzgerald moves from the left wing to inside centre. Ben Te'o will line up alongside him at 13. In the half backs Ian Madigan shifts from the centre to number ten, with Eoin Reddan starting at scrumhalf.
It's a completely new front row as Cullen calls up three Irish capped front rowers in Cian Healy, Richardt Strauss and Marty Moore, while Tom Denton comes in to partner Mike McCarthy in the second row.
Rhys Ruddock and Josh van der Flier will start at blind side and open side respectively, while Jordi Murphy comes in at the base of the scrum. Ruddock will also captain the team for the first time this season.
