Connacht quintet rested as Lam looks at the big picture

With an unprecedented three league wins on the trot, and Cardiff next up at home, Lam has opted to make several changes against a Glasgow side tipped to continue their perfect start to the season.
Openside Willie Faloon, Ireland squad member Kieran Marmion, Nathan White, Mick Kearney – who joined Joe Schmidt’s training last weekend – and winger Niyi Adeolokun will all be given the week off.
