Muldoon’s 200th cap milestone for Connacht

RABO DIRECT PRO12:

The Portumna native will join fellow leaders Gavin Duffy and Michael Swift, in the hopes of repeating last season’s victory at the venue — the province’s first in 11 years. Robbie Henshaw moves from full-back to the centre to accommodate the returning Duffy who has recovered from a cheek injury, with Danie Poolman dropping to the bench. Tiernan O’Halloran comes in on the wing, replacing Fionn Carr who suffered a calf strain in last weekend’s winning Pro12 opener against Zebre.

Pat Lam says Connacht now have to step it up again.
