Head Coach Pat Lam has made three personnel changes to his Connacht side to face Glasgow Warriors at the Sportsground tomorrow afternoon.
Jack Carty will start at outhalf in an otherwise unchanged back line that sees Robbie Henshaw and Bundee Aki link up in mid field for the fifth time.
Up front, Academy lock Ultan Dillane, who will be promoted to the senior squad next season, has been called in to partner Aly Muldowney in the second row.
Eoin McKeon is recalled to the back row to join captain John Muldoon and Eoghan Masterson.
From the replacements bench, George Naoupu is in line to make his 100th appearance in a Connacht shirt.
Commenting on the upcoming game, Pat Lam said:
"You could say this is our toughest game of the season with who we are up against and what is on the line. We understand the massive importance of tomorrow but we have prepared like we would every game. It's up to us to go out and perform as a team. Glasgow are the league leaders for a reason. They are a well-coached side with huge depth in their squad of internationals and they are the number one offloading team who can score plenty of tries. So defensively, we will have to be spot on."
