Connacht make two changes for the visit of Treviso

Connacht head coach Pat Lam has made two changes to his starting XV for the visit of Benetton Treviso to the Sportsground on Sunday (5:15pm).

Galway man Tiernan O'Halloran will earn his first start of the season, at full back, while Niyi Adeolokun is named on the right wing.

"Treviso showed last week how dangerous they are with their impressive five-try win over Cardiff Blues," said Lam.

"We're sitting in sixth place at the moment but like last week we still don't have a safety net, and we have to continue to perform as a team against Treviso.

"It's been over six weeks since our last home game so everyone is really looking forward to playing in front of our home supporters again at the Sportsground."
