The Leinster Rugby team, proudly sponsored by Bank of Ireland, to take on Glasgow Warriors in Round 18 of the BKT United Rugby Championship on Saturday at Aviva Stadium (KO: 7.35pm, live on RTÉ2 and Premier Sports 1) has been named by Head Coach, Leo Cullen. 

Jack Conan captains the side from number eight once more as there are nine changes to the starting XV from last week's record win over Zebre Parma. 

Jimmy O'Brien will be making his 99th appearance in blue, with Tommy O'Brien starting on the opposite wing and Hugo Keenan named at full-back. 

Robbie Henshaw will be partnered by Jordie Barrett in the centre. Sam Prendergast continues at out-half while Academy scrum-half Fintan Gunne comes in as his half-back partner. 

Conan is joined in the back row once more by Ryan Baird, with Scott Penny coming in at openside flanker. 

James Ryan returns to make his first start in a Leinster jersey since January and will be partnered in the second row by the Bank of Ireland Leinster Rugby Men’s Player of the Year RG Snyman. 

In the front row, Andrew Porter and Dan Sheehan come into the starting line up alongside Thomas Clarkson. 

Rónan Kelleher, Jack Boyle and Tadhg Furlong provide reinforcements from the bench alongside Max Deegan and Academy second row Diarmuid Mangan. Luke McGrath offers cover for scrum-half while Ciarán Frawley and Jamie Osborne complete the 23 for Saturday's meeting with the reigning URC champions.
