Flavin and Willis step up for Connacht

Connacht coach Eric Elwood has made two changes to the side to play Benetton Treviso in the Magner’s League this Saturday evening at Stadio di Monigo.

The Ireland call-up of Sean Cronin has left a hole at hooker which will be filled by the experienced Adrian Flavin.

Former Leinster and Ulster scrum-half Cillian Willis will start ahead of the regular first choice Frank Murphy.
