The Kilkenny pair of Eoin Larkin and Jackie Tyrell have been drafted into the Leinster starting XV ahead of the M Donnelly Inter-provincial final against Connacht on Saturday.
Connacht who overcame defending champions Munster last weekend have been forced into five changes for the game at Pearse Stadium, Galway.
Tyrell and Larkin replace Rory McCarthy and Gary Hanniffy in John Conran's Leinster line-up, as they go in search of their 25th Interpro title.
Connacht have lost both Shane Kavanagh and David Forde, following the pair's departure to Australia. They will be replaced by Diarmuid Cloonan and Mark Kerins as they look to win their 11th Interpro title.
There will be first senior starts for defender John Lee and forward Iarla Tannian, as Ger Farragher, Niall Healy and Kevin Broderick are demoted to the bench.
Richie Murray returns to the Connacht forward line after a stint at centre back against Munster.
