Ireland duo back for Connacht
Ireland internationals Kieran Marmion and Rodney Ah You have returned to the Connacht squad for match day squad for the PRO12 Round 9 clash with Scarlets tomorrow night (kick off 7:30pm).
Robbie Henshaw is a late withdrawal having failed to fully recover from a minor hip flexor injury picked up in last week's Ireland game.
Having played in every game this season, last week's try scorer Jack Carty has been handed the reins at outhalf.
Along with Ah You coming in, there are three more changes to the forwards pack.
Hooker Tom McCartney, who earned his first Connacht cap from the bench last week, has been named for his first start in the absence of the injured Jason Harris-Wright.
The Galway-born duo of Andrew Browne and Eoin McKeon has also been promoted from the bench for tomorrow night's clash at the Sportsground.
Commenting on the team selection and the upcoming game Head Coach Pat Lam said: "We were all very disappointed for Jason Harris-Wright this week but we're thankful to have the experience of Tom McCartney to step in for his first start in a slightly changed pack.
"Scarlets are a well-coached side with huge squad depth and it's been over three years since we beat them. Their win last week over an in-form Glasgow Warriors highlights the big challenge we face tomorrow night. But with both teams vying to climb the table, it is set up for a great evening at a lively Sportsground."
