Fanning and Loughney in for Connacht

Connacht coach Eric Elwood has announced his side for Friday night’s Amlin Challenge Cup game against Harlequins at the Sportsgrounds (kick-off 7pm).

There are two changes to the side which lost 20-9 to the same opposition last weekend with ex-St Mary’s College winger Darragh Fanning replacing Brian Tuohy on the wing while Ronan Loughney comes in for Brett Wilkinson at loosehead prop.
