Connacht name side to face Munster

Connacht have made one change to their side ahead of their Magners League clash with Munster at Thomond Park on Saturday, kick off 7.30pm.

Troy Nathan comes into the backline to form a new centre partnership alongside Niva Ta'auso for the first time but Connacht are still waiting on a number of injury concerns to determine how the forwards will shape up.

Either Andrew Browne or Michael Swift could start in the second row alongside Andrew Farley and at number eight there is still a question mark over Ray Ofisa, with Colm Rigney likely to deputise in his absence.

Connacht team to face Munster at Thomond Park in the Magners League on Saturday 18 April: G Duffy; F Carr, N Ta'auso, T Nathan, L Bibo; I Keatley, F Murphy; B Wilkinson, S Cronin, R Loughney; A Browne/M Swift, A Farley; J Muldoon (C), J O'Connor, C Rigney/R Ofisa.

Replacements: A Flavin, B McGovern, M Swift/D Gannon, C Rigney/D Nolan, C O'Loughlin, A Dunne, M Deane.
