Squad News: Michael Bradley has named an extended 27-man Connacht squad ahead of their bottom of the table Magners League encounter with Ulster at Ravenhill on Friday night.
Bradley has still to decide on the participation of Samoan brothers, Ray Ofisa and Ofisa Treviranus, as both are due late fitness tests.
The Galwegians trio of Joe Merrigan, Peter Durcan and Ronan Loughney have been included in the squad.
Connacht are currently bottom with 16 points from 14 games, while Ulster have 20 points with a game in hand. The game takes on an added dimension as a place in next season's Heineken Cup is up for grabs for the province who finishes highest in the table.
Connacht Squad:
Andrew Browne, Liam Casserly, Mel Deane, Gavin Duffy, Andy Dunne, Peter Durcan, Andrew Farley, Adrian Flavin, John Fogarty, David Gannon, Ronan Loughney, Keith Matthews, Brian McGovern, Conor McPhillips, Joe Merrigan, Robbie Morris, Matt Mostyn, John Muldoon, Troy Nathan, John O'Connor, Ray Ofisa, Colm Rigney, Daniel Riordan, Rob Shaw, Ofisa Treviranus, Brett Wilkinson, Darren Yapp.
