BOTH LEINSTER AND Connacht have made changes for tomorrow nightโs Heineken Champions Cup last-16 second leg at the Aviva Stadium (5.30pm, BT Sport).
Leinster welcome back some big names to their starting side with Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half while Andrew Porter and Rรณnan Kelleher both come into the front row.
Luke McGrath, Dan Sheehan and Cian Healy are the three players replaced.
Connachtโs solitary switch is at scrum-half with Caolin Blade selected as Kieran Marmion moves to the replacements. The bench also includes two further changes with Denis Buckley back involved after recovering from injury, while hooker Jonny Murphy is also involved. Conor Fitzgerald will make his 50th appearance for the province if called upon.
