Jordan Larmour and Ciarán Frawley start for Leinster v Stormers

Leinster have included Jordan Larmour, Ciarán Frawley and Ross Molony in their starting side for Friday's BKT United Rugby Championship meeting with the Stormers at the RDS.

The trio are the only of Ireland's wider Six Nations-winning squad to be included, with Leo Cullen making jus one change from their last outing against Edinburgh on 4 March.

Rob Russell is the fresh face in the side, with the injured Jamie Osborne dropping out, but there are a number of positional changes in the backline.

Larmour starts at full-back, having been on the wing against Edinburgh, joining Russell and Dave Kearney in the back three.

Frawley moves to inside centre, where he partners Liam Turner, while Leinster retain the half-back pairing of Harry Byrne and Luke McGrath.

The pack is unchanged, with Michael Milne and Michael Ala'alatoa either side of hooker John McKee, and Molony partnering Jason Jenkins (below) in the second row.

Rhys Ruddock captains the side from blindside flanker, with Scott Penny at openside and Max Deegan completing the lineup at number 8.

Ed Byrne is among those named on the bench, with the loosehead prop set for his first appearance since suffering a knee injury in December.

Meanwhile, the Stormers have named a formidable starting XV, with Springboks Steven Kitshoff, Joseph Dweba, Frans Malherbe, Marvin Orie and Damian Willemse all included for the defending champions.

Leinster are 12 points clear of the second-place Stormers in the URC table, and know a win at the RDS will guarantee them the top seed in the playoffs.

Leinster: Jordan Larmour; Rob Russell, Liam Turner, Ciarán Frawley, Dave Kearney; Harry Byrne, Luke McGrath; Michael Milne, John McKee, Michael Ala'alatoa; Ross Molony, Jason Jenkins; Rhys Ruddock (capt), Scott
