'it's going to be fascinating and I'm looking forward to it as much as anyone,' said head coach Pete Wilkins
Connacht boss Pete Wilkins predicts a "fascinating" battle for the No.10 jersey between new boy Josh Ioane and Jack Carty .
Carty's status as captain has been passed onto Cian Prendergast for this season and the experienced out-half can focus on his own game as the westerners look to bounce back from a disappointing 11th place finish last term. "I think they're going to be pushing each other for selection, but also pushing each other to improve throughout the season.
Wilkins, who confirmed that he has a full squad available bar Hanrahan, said that Ioane has settled in very quickly and has swiftly assimilated into the group.
