Leinster welcome two Ireland internationals back to the fold as they take on Munster in the Magner's League at Lansdowne Road tomorrow.

Ireland record caps holder Malcolm O'Kelly returns to the second row to address some of those lineout issues that have emerged in the early season.

Centre Gordon D'Arcy is also named in strong back four, where he will play alongside captain Brian O'Driscoll, Shane Horgan and Girvan Dempsey.

O'Kelly's inclusion means that Owen Finegan drops to the bench, as does youngster Luke Fitzgerald, despite impressing in his appearances so far.
