As is his wont, Connacht coach Michael Bradley has made eight changes to his side for the Celtic League trip to the Neath-Swansea Ospreys on Friday night.

Bradley, who has employed a rotation policy since he took up the reigns in Connacht during the summer, also has a number of injuries (nine in all) to contend with.

There are changes on both wings with Wayne Munn selected on the left and Ted Robinson, who has seen limited action under Bradley, replacing Matt Mostyn on the other flank. Mostyn moves to centre.

In the pack, John Muldoon makes his first start for Connacht at blindside with Paul Neville switching to openside and Michael Carroll coming in at No 8. The front row is also changed with Dan McFarland coming in at loosehead with Adrian Clarke selected at tighthead.
