Connacht Head Coach Pete Wilkins has made seven changes to his side after their shock loss at home to the Lions last weekend for their BKT URC round 13 clash against Benetton in Stadio Monigo on Saturday (1pm Irish time).

Jack Carty returns to the starting XV alongside Michael McDonald in a new half-back partnership replacing the injured Caolin Blade and JJ Hanrahan who is undergoing return to play protocols.
