Following on from the tough battle with Newcastle Falcons last month in round 2 of the British & Irish Cup, Connacht Eagles head coach Nigel Carolan has made a host of changes for Friday's fixture.
Mark McCrea and recent Academy signing Steve Macauley are named on the wings, while scrum half Paul O'Donohoe makes a welcome return to a Connacht starting line-up.
Flanker Eoghan Grace will captain the side and is joined in the back row by former Ireland Under-20 internationals David Heffernan and Aaron Conneely.
Carolan is looking forward to the game, stating: "With round 3 of both the Heineken Cup and British & Irish Cup in just two weeks' time, this is a great opportunity to give players a run-out and have a look at different options."
Connacht Season Ticket holders can gain free entry to the grounds for Friday's Connacht Eagles v Leinster 'A' match in Galway.
