Of the younger contingent, former Ireland U20 Finn Treacy starts on the right wing having made his senior competitive debut off the bench in January’s URC defeat at Glasgow.
Temi Lassisi, who hasn’t featured since URC Round 4, starts at tighthead for the western province, while Connacht’s bench also includes academy men Fiachna Barrett, Seán Naughton, John Devine and Shane Mallon.
