Connacht XV to face Leinster

The squad sees just one change on the bench, Ezra Taylor replaces Andrew Browne who is ruled out through sickness. Ireland trio John Muldoon, Sean Cronin and Gavin Duffy are included in the same starting lineup that beat French highflyers Bayonne in the Amlin Challenge Cup last weekend as Connacht look to complete a 3 in a row victory over Leinster in the Sportsground.
