This is the team which Pat Lam has chosen to secure a first ever Champions Cup quarter-final spot.

The injury crisis at Connacht has alleviated somewhat in perfect time for Connacht's do or die clash away to Toulouse on Sunday. Pat Lam has made five changes to the side which trounced Zebre at the Sportsground. Jack Carty has recovered from injury to take the reins at outhalf while Peter Robb also returns to form a new centre partnership with Craig Ronaldson. Up front, Ireland international Quinn Roux comes in having missed out last week while the back row is also boosted with the return from injury of flankers Nepia Fox-Matamua and Jake Heenan. A win for Connacht will secure their passage to the quarter-finals, while progression may also occur if Connacht can achieve a losing bonus point while denying Toulouse a bonus point themselves. https://twitter.com/connachtrugby/status/822415143925583872
