Warwick gets Connacht chance

Former Australian Sevens captain Paul Warwick will make his competitive debut for Connacht tomorrow at the Sportsground, as coach Michael Bradley has named four of his seven summer signings as starters against Glasgow.

The 23-year-old, signed from Manly in July, will fill the number 10 shirt, with 151-cap veteran Eric Elwood benched. Centre Darren Yapp has been a late withdrawal due to a knee ligament injury, but ex-Leinster utility back Niall O’Brien has recovered from injury and is among the replacements.
