Leinster make five changes


Leo Cullen has made five changes to the Leinster starting XV ahead of Friday's European Champions Cup clash with Montpellier at the RDS.

Johnny Sexton is retained at fly-half after coming through his return to action last weekend and he is once again joined by Luke McGrath in the half-back line.

Captain Isa Nacewa comes in at full-back in the only change to the backs from the side that hammered Zebre in the Guinness PRO12 last time.

Nacewa is joined in the back three by Adam Byrne and Rory O'Loughlin, while Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose once again team up in the centre.

There are four changes to the pack as Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong come into the front row to join James Tracy.

Devin Toner and Hayden Triggs are retained in the second row, with Josh van der Flier coming in at openside after recovering from the illness that prevented him from playing against Zebre.

Jack Conan moves to blindside, while Jamie Heaslip is promoted from the bench to start at number 8.

Leinster (XV v Montpellier): I Nacewa; A Byrne, G Ringrose, R Henshaw, R O'Loughlin; J Sexton, L McGrath; J McGrath, J Tracy, T Furlong, D Toner, H Triggs, J Conan, J van der Flier, J Heaslip.

Replacements: R Strauss, C Healy, M Bent, R Molony, D Leavy, J Gibson-Park, R Byrne, R Kearney.
