Bayonne v Leinster 3.15pm
LEINSTER have made eight changes to their side for their final Champions Cup pool game at Bayonne.
The Blues are searching for a win that could land them a top two seeding and guarantee a home route all the way to the final.
Harry Byrne (far right) starts at No.10 as his Ireland rival Sam Prendergast drops to the bench while Jimmy O'Brien and Garry Ringrose get to return two weekends ahead of the Six Nations.
RG Snyman is fit again and Max Deegan deputises at blindside for the injured Ryan Baird and Jack Conan.
