Three changes for Connacht

Connacht Rugby have made three changes to the team that lost to Aironi last weekend for the visit to Toulouse this Saturday (4.40pm local time).

Paul O'Donohoe comes into the side at scrum-half, Ray Ofisa at flanker and Niall O'Connor starts at outhalf.

Dylan Rogers, Adrian Flavin and Brett Wilkinson renew their partnership up front with Michael Swift and Mike McCarthy in the engine room of the scrum.

John Muldoon returns to blindside flanker with Samoan Ofisa at openside and big George Naoupu at 8.

O'Donohoe replaces the injured Frank Murphy at 9. Murphy underwent surgery on his groin earlier this week and is set to miss the next three weeks.

O'Connor will orchestrate the backline with the youthful talents of Dave McSharry and Kyle Tonetti in the centre, backed up by Tiernan O'Halloran, Fetu'u Vainikolo and captain Gavin Duffy at fullback.

CONNACHT (v Toulouse): G Duffy (c), F Vainikolo, K Tonetti, D McSharry, T O’Halloran; N O’Connor, P O’Donohoe; B Wilkinson, A Flavin, D Rogers; M Swift, M McCarthy; J Muldoon, R Ofisa, G Naoupu.

Replacements: E Reynecke, D Buckley, S Maguire, M Kearney, E McKeon, D Moore, M Nikora, H Fa’afili.
