Star-studded Montferrand have shown 'no fear' in selecting David Bory, the culprit who went knees in first, on Gordon D'Arcy last Saturday in France.
For Leinster, David Quinlan comes into inside centre, allowing Shane Horgan to move to the left wing. Malcolm O'Kelly is fit for action in the second row and Eric Miller gets the nod over Aidan McCullen on the blindside.
