Connacht head coach Eric Elwood has made three changes to his side for their RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Glasgow Warrior on Saturday.
In the pack hooker Adrian Flavin replaces Ethienne Reynecke in the front row and the departing Ray Ofisa moves to the bench making way for Johnny O'Connor.
In the backline rising star Eoin Griffin's return to outside centre means Kyle Tonetti moves to the right wing while speedster James Loxton is promoted to the bench.
Connacht are chasing a best league finish of eight position and a win over play-off contenders Glasgow will secure that historic result for the club.
Glasgow have a lot to play for though in their last match at Firhill and Connacht's talismanic back-rower John Muldoon is under no illusions about the scale of the challenge that lies ahead.
"Glasgow are riding high in the league at the moment, their coach is leaving, they're leaving Firhill and they are also gunning for a top four position so we know the pressure's on them."
Connacht team to face Glasgow Warriors in the RaboDirect PRO12 at Firhill on Sunday 5 May
