Brian O’Drsicoll, Rob Keraney and Luke Fitzgerald all return to the Leinster team for Friday night’s RaboDirect PRO12 meeting with Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
The back line will give the reigning Heineken Cup champions some quick options as Kearney plays alongside Fitzgerald and Fionn Carr, while O’Driscoll and Gordon D’Arcy will be reunited in midfield.
The pack will include internationals such as Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip and Sean O’Brien while Shane Jennings has recovered from illness in time to take a spot on the bench alongside fellow internationals Michael Bent and Isaac Boss.
Eoin Reddan will make his 75th appearance for Leinster when he starts at half back alongside Jonathan Sexton.
