Roy Whelan has been named in the second row replacing Luke Clohessey who moves to number 8 as Colin Deane makes way to the replacements.
Colin Sisk will start at scrum-half replacing the injured Craig Casey, and also takes over the captaincy role.
A further change is made on the wing which sees Jonathan Wren move to fullback with Ikem Ugwueru taking his place.
Evan O’Gorman moves into the centre position replacing Kieran Dunne and joins Sean French who retains his place at 13.
