LEINSTER RUGBY HEAD coach Leo Cullen has made seven changes to the starting XV that lost away to the Scarlets last weekend.

Included are Rhys Ruddock and Mike McCarthy — both of whom were late call ups to the Ireland Rugby World Cup squad  – as Leinster welcome the reigning PRO12 champions, Glasgow Warriors, to the RDS.

Isa Nacewa, Garry Ringrose and Fergus McFadden all start in the back three for the fourth game in succession while Ben Te’o has shaken off the calf injury that kept him out of last week’s trip to Parc y Scarlets and takes his place at outside centre, with Noel Reid inside him at 12.

Leinster have also announced that any Irish supporter who comes to the game on Friday and shows a Rugby World Cup ticket stub will be eligible for reduced entry.
