**Dave Kearney will make his first appearance of the season for Leinster when they welcome Edinburgh to the RDS Arena on Friday night.** Winger Kearney has been out with a back injury but will make his 170th appearance for the province as Leo Cullen's men bid to climb above their visitors in this fourth-versus-second clash. Edinburgh, who lost top spot to Ulster last weekend but would return to the summit with a win in Dublin, have James Lang and Ramiro Moyano back from injury, while stand-off Charlie Savala makes his second start of the season. Prop Jake Armstrong and back-row Kwagga van Niekirk could make their debuts from the bench.
