The Connacht U19 management team have made changes in the front row and at out-half for tomorrow’s U19 Interprovincial Championship clash with Leinster at The Sportsground (k/o 2.30pm)
 
The side will be looking to bounce back from last week’s 10 point defeat to Munster in Limerick, in what will be their sole home game of the interpro series.
 
Prop Alan Duffy (Ballina RFC) is drafted in at tight-head while there’s a start for Cian Treacy (Ballinasloe RFC) at number 10, with Cathal Forde moving from out-half to inside centre.
 
Connacht complete their campaign this Sunday when they head to Barnhall to face Ulster.
 
Kick-off is at 2.30pm tomorrow and entry to the ground is free.
