Lyne sustained a hamstring strain and is replaced in the party by Eugene McGovern of Old Crescent.

The captaincy has been given to Stephen Keogh (UCC) and coach Michael Bradley, who takes over the running of Connacht rugby following this tournament, is confident of a good showing with, or without Lyne.
