CONNACHT HAVE MADE 10 changes for tomorrow’s Guinness Pro12 meeting with Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo [KO 6.30pm Irish time, TG4].

Pat Lam has brought Jack Carty back into his XV, with the out-half having made his return from spleen surgery in the victory over Munster two weekends ago. John Cooney comes into the side at scrum-half.

Fullback Tiernan O’Halloran is also back in the Connacht team after recovering from a knee injury, while Jake Heenan makes his comeback at openside flanker.

Fionn Carr starts on the wing, after Matt Healy suffered a minor back injury in training last week, while academy player Rory Parata – another just back from injury – is picked in midfield alongside Peter Robb.

In the front row, Ronan Loughney and Rodney Ah You have been selected either side of hooker Tom McCartney, who will captain Connacht against Treviso.

Quinn Roux and Andrew Browne form the lock partnership, while Eoin McKeon shifts to number eight. AJ MacGinty and Caolin Blade are both back from injury to take spots on the bench alongside Robbie Henshaw.
