Connacht make three changes for trip to face Dragons

"The Dragons are in good form and are playing some great team rugby. It's clear for us to see that they are a different side to the one we faced at the Sportsground in Round 1."

Ahead of the trip to Rodney Parade, Connacht head coach Pat Lam has made three personnel changes from the starting XV that lined out in the defeat of Scarlets in the last round of PRO12 action.

AJ MacGinty will make his fifth start in a Connacht jersey this season, replacing the injured Jack Carty at outhalf.
