Birr man Shane Delahunt will line out as hooker for Connacht in their team to face Stade Francais in the final Heineken Champions Cup pool game away on Sunday.
While qualification to the knockout stages could be secured before kick-off, Andy Friend and his coaches have still selected a strong side who will be looking for their second win of the campaign away from home in Paris.
There are two changes among the forwards from the side that started against Leicester last week, with props Jordan Duggan and Greg McGrath coming into the team. They’re joined in the front row by hooker Shane Delahunt, while Oisin Dowling, Niall Murray, Cian Prendergast, Conor Oliver and Jarrad Butler make up the rest of the pack.
The game will kick off at 1pm on Sunday at the Stade Jean-Bouin.
