McLennan will play on the left flank with Sam Beard moving from centre to play on the opposite wing. Connacht make three changes from the team that beat Newport Gwent Dragons. Ireland internationals Robbie Henshaw and Kieran Marmion both start while in the forwards Willie Faloon is introduced at openside flanker.
