Jordan Larmour, James Lowe and Robbie Henshaw return to the Leinster team for the trip to Wales to face the Scarlets on Saturday evening.

Leinster will travel to Wales for the second time in a week and a number of players come back in to the squad from the team that accounted for Cardiff Blues by a point last Friday.

Jordan Larmour comes into the team at fullback with Fergus McFadden and James Lowe completing the back three that will line out in Parc y Scarlets.

The centre pairing will see Robbie Henshaw and Rory O’Loughlin in the 12 and 13 jersey respectively. It will be Henshaw’s 25th appearance for Leinster.
