Michael Bradley has made four changes as well as two positional switches to the Connacht team which played Edinburgh, ahead of their match against the Ospreys on Saturday (kick off 5.30pm).

David Slemen is named at full back as Daniel Riordan switches to the left wing in place of Conor McPhillips.

Ryan Strudwick is named in the second row in place of the injured Andrew Farley while Darren Yapp starts on the right wing as John Hearty moves to outside centre, in place of Gavin Williams who is named among the replacements.

John Muldoon has recovered from the cheek injury he sustained against Munster on New Years Eve to take his place in the back row, as Matt Lacey moves to the bench.

Connacht will be hoping to extend their good record against the Ospreys, having won in Wales in two of the past three seasons and also having beaten them earlier in this Magners League campaign at the Sportsground in September.
