Eric Elwood and Bernard Jackman have shaken off the injuries threatening to keep them out of Saturday's Celtic Cup semi-final and have been named in the Connacht side to face Edinburgh.
Coach Michael Bradley has made three changes to the side that overwhelmed Ulster last weekend with Adrian Clarke and Damian Browne coming into the pack and David Hewitt selected at full-back.
Hewitt's inclusion sees Mark McHugh switch to the centre with Tim Allnutt making way. The Connacht captain starts on the bench with Jackman assuming the on-field responsibilities.
