Ireland full-back Hugo Keenan will return to action for Leinster against Bath in Saturday’s final Invstec Champions Cup Pool Two match.
Unbeaten Leinster have already qualified for the last-16 and can secure a home knockout tie with victory over the Premiership leaders at the Aviva Stadium.
Wing Joe Cokanasiga will win his 100th cap for Bath, who are third in the Pool and know victory will secure progression, although even defeat could be enough if other results go their way.
Keenan’s return is a welcome boost for Ireland with the Six Nations two weeks away, as head coach Leo Cullen makes five changes from the win over La Rochelle.
Garry Ringrose starts on the wing to accommodate the centre pairing of Robbie Henhsaw and All Black Jordie Barrett.
There are two changes in the front row as Andrew Porter and Rabah Slimani start, while Tadhg Furlong drops out of the squad after making his return from injury against the French side.
Jack Conan will captain the side from number eight, with Caelan Doris dropping to the bench.
Although they have returned to training, Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan and wing James Lowe miss out on selection.
It is a landmark weekend for Cokanasiga as he prepares for his 100th Bath appearance, while second row Ross Molony will face his former side in one of three changes from Sunday’s win over Clermont.
The other changes come in the front row as hooker Niall Annett and prop Will Stuart get the nod to start in Dublin.
Ben Spencer will captain Bath from scrum-half and will be partnered by Scotland’s talisman Finn Russell.
