Coach Matt Williams has recalled Trevor Brennan to the Leinster side ahead of Saturday’s Heineken Cup clash with Newcastle at Kingston Park.
Brennan replaces Eric Miller who sits out a suspension for being shown a red card against Munster in the Celtic League final at Lansdowne Road last month.
Brennan is the only change to the team that beat Munster.
Munster host Harlequins at Thomad Park on Saturday and will name their team after training this evening.
