One week after collecting their first league victory this season against Edinburgh, Aironi travel to Dublin to face Leinster.
The Italians have made several changes to last week's winning side. Head coach Rowland Phillips has injuries to contend with and has opted to rest some of the players who have had a busy start to the campaign, playing in each the first four RaboDirect PRO12 matches.
One of them is Naas Olivier, who has played every minute so far this term - the South African fly-half, who starred against Edinburgh, starts from the bench.
Tito Tebaldi and Tyson Keats form a new half-back combination. Tebaldi will play at 10, while Keats stays at scrum-half making his first appearance in the starting XV after coming off the bench in Newport two weeks ago. Those changes aside, the back line is the same one which confronted Edinburgh.
There are three changes in the pack; two of them are in the back row, where Josh Sole returns at blindside flanker and Simone Favaro goes to the open side. Finally, Alberto De Marchi replaces prop Matias Aguero.
