Connacht Rugby have announced the starting XV for the Leinster match tomorrow.
Despite Eric's warnings he has not had to go so far as to dip into Nigel Carolan's U-20 resources
There are 3 changes to the starting team from the side that lost to Ospreys last week away from home. McCrea comes in for the injured O'Halloran. While TOH's spark will be missed McCrea has shown good attacking nous in his 3 Connacht matches so far, and scored the winning try against the Scarlets in the Sportsground last month.
Adrian Flavin is back at hooker with South African Etthienne Reynecke dropping onto the bench.The final change sees Ray Ofisa return to the starting lineup at Number 8, giving him room to roam with ball in hand on attack and put in his trademark big hits in defense.
