Rob Kearney returns as Leinster host Edinburgh

Rob Kearney returns to the Leinster starting XV for the side that will face Edinburgh tomorrow night.

Edinburgh travel to Dublin with the hosts top of the table, level on points with Connacht but with a greater points difference.

The Ireland international is one of 12 changes Leo Cullen makes to his side who welcome the Scots to the RDS.

Kearney will start at full-back having last featured for Leinster in the Champions Cup match away to Wasps in January.

Luke Fitzgerald recovers from injury to start on the left wing, while Fergus McFadden completes the back three.

Cian Healy, Richardt Strauss and Mike Ross come in for Jack McGrath, Sean Cronin and Tadhg Furlong in anew-look front row.

Ben Te'o and Noel Reid will start the game as Leinster's midfield pairing, with Luke McGrath and Ian Madigan selected as the provinces starting half-back partnership.

Rhys Ruddock captains Leinster from the back row alongside Josh van der Flier, who will make his twelfth start of the season.
