Henshaw handed Connacht start


Athlone teenager Rob Henshaw is set to make his first Rabo Direct Pro 12 start for Connacht

The former Marist student has been selected at outside centre by coach Eric Elwood for tomorrow night's game away to Glasgow

Henshaw replaces the injured Eoin Griffin in one of eight changes from the side that lost to the Scarlets in Galway last weekend

Mark McCrea and James Loxton replace Fetu’u Vainikolo and Tiernan O’Halloran on the wings and Matthew Jarvis comes in for Miah Nikora at scrum half

Willie Faloon, who made his Connacht starting debut last weekend, starts in the all-new back row trio which sees Johnny O’Connor move from Openside to Blindside Flanker

And Buccaneers Ireland Under 20s capped fly half Jack Carty is among the replacements
