Ireland backs Brian O’Driscoll, Girvan Dempsey and Gordon D’Arcy will feature for Leinster on Friday night for the first time since the World Cup, against Ulster, at Ravenhill.
O’Driscoll will take his place in the centre alongside D’Arcy with Dempsey at full-back while former Wallaby scrum-half Chris Whitaker returns from injury.
Ireland flanker Keith Gleeson is expected to play a role from the replacements bench that also includes the Stan Wright and Ireland international Luke Fitzgerald.
South African prop Ollie Le Roux will make his debut for the province alongside fellow front-rowers Bernard Jackman and Stephen Knoop, while Malcolm O’Kelly will bolster the second-row.
