Connacht coach Eric Elwood will welcome back Mike McCarthy and Brett Wilkinson from international duty for Saturday's RaboDirect Pro12 clash with Munster.
John Muldoon, Kyle Tonetti and Henry Fa'afili also return to the starting lineup.
Ronan Loughney moves back to tight-head prop where he has excelled this season and is joined in the front-row by hooker Ethienne Reynecke and Wilkinson.
McCarthy and Swift renew their second-row partnership while Mick Kearney joins Ray Ofisa and John Muldoon in the back-row.
Frank Murphy and Miah Nikora continue their half-back pairing with Henry Fa'afili and Eoin Griffin making up the centres.
The back three consists of Tiernan O'Halloran, Kyle Tonetti and captain Gavin Duffy at full-back.
The bench sees sub-Academy prop Finlay Bealham making the match-day squad for the first time alongside the return to fitness of Rodney Ah You and both will look to make a big impression from the bench.
