SO GOOD NEWS for Connacht fans. Tom Farrell, the centre, has fully recovered from a cruciate ligament injury he suffered against Zebre last November, and is named to start at outside centre for the province’s friendly against Worcester tomorrow.
The back three is made up of wingers Matt Healy and John Porch with full-back Tiernan O’Halloran, while the international duo of Kieran Marmion and Jack Carty make up the half-back partnership.
The front row is made up of Jordan Duggan, Shane Delahunt and Dominic Robertson-McCoy, while there’s a youthful second row of Oisin Dowling and Niall Murray.
The starting XV is completed by number 8 Jarrad Butler alongside flankers Cian Prendergast and Conor Oliver.
There are six forwards and five backs on the replacement bench, including new signings Greg McGrath and Shayne Bolton, as well as Academy players Ciaran Booth, Oisin McCormack and Diarmuid Kilgallen.
