Henshaw out as Connacht battle to stay sixth

GUINNESS PRO12:

Henshaw sustained a flexor strain in Ireland’s victory over Australia last week and has failed to recover, but international teammates Kieran Marmion and Rodney Ah You are named in Pat Lam’s starting side.

Jack Carty returns to partner Marmion, while up front hooker Tom McCartney makes his first start, for the injured Jason Harris-Wright. Andrew Browne replaces Mick Kearney in the second row and Eoin McKeon comes in for Willie Faloon at openside.
