Joe McCarthy in the second row and Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier and Jack Conan named in a strong backrow.

The Bulls have made six changes from the match against Dragons last weekend, with openside flanker Elrigh Louw returning to the starting line-up after a shoulder injury.

Bulls head coach Jake White says the match will be a great opportunity to test progress of his side.

The match is at 7.35pm on TG4 and Premier Sports.

LEINSTER (v Bulls): Jordan Larmour; Rob Russell, Robbie Henshaw, Jamie Osborne, James Lowe; Harry Byrne, Luke McGrath (capt); Cian Healy, Rónan Kelleher, Michael Ala’alatoa; Ross Molony, Joe McCarthy; Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan.
