David Horwitz included in Connacht Eagles team for Celtic Cup clash with Ulster

There's a first start for summer signing David Horwitz who has recovered from injury to don the green of Connacht for the first time - he's named at out-half alongside James Mitchell.

Elsewhere in the back-line there's a new midfield pairing of Kieran Joyce and Sean O'Brien, with Conor Hayes drafted onto the wing and Hugh Lane and Darragh Leader completing the back three.

The front row consists of Matthew Burke, Jonny Murphy and Conor Kenny, with Kenny replacing Conán O'Donnell due to his involvement in the European Challenge Cup.

Also included in the Challenge Cup side is Joe Maksymiw meaning Iarlaith Laheen starts in the second row alongside Peter Claffey. There's two further changes in the back row with Dylan Tierney and Cian Huxford coming into the side and Mikey Wilson alongside them.

Admission costs €10 for adults, €5 for students/seniors and free entry for Season Ticket holders.
