Match preview

Munster are one of two unbeaten teams after two rounds of the Pro14 Rainbow Cup and should make it three out of three in a clash of two much-changed sides as they face Connacht at Thomond Park.

There are nine changes to the Munster team who overcame Ulster last week, but there's plenty of strength in the side while Conor Murray, Joey Carbery and Keith Earls are all on the bench.

Connacht were overrun by Leinster last week and have made significant changes to their pack. They are given a handicap start in the high teens, but a rainy forecast could limit scoring, and backing a win by 11 to 20 points looks the best bet at decent odds of 13-5.

Ulster are bottom of the pile following back-to-back defeats and are given a similar-sized start at Pro14 champions Leinster.

Leinster have a strong side out featuring British & Irish Lions squad members Tadhg Furlong and Robbie Henshaw. Leinster were 24-12 winners when the teams met at the RDS in January and triumphed 38-19 in Belfast in March.
