Tiernan O’Halloran will make his first appearance for Connacht since October when he returns to the starting lineup to face Munster on Saturday. In the Connacht midfield, Tom Daly has forced his way into the starting team alongside Bundee Aki. In the forwards, the tight five has a very familiar look; props Denis Buckley and Finlay are included in the starting team as is hooker Dave Heffernan. Kilcoyne, Kevin O’Byrne and Stephen Archer start in the front row with the secondrow partnership of Kleyn and Holland unchanged. Gavin Coombes, Chris Cloete and Stander complete the side.
