Connacht coach Michael Bradley has made six changes to the side that was beaten 45-3 by Llanelli Scarlets last week ahead of Friday's fixture with Glasgow Warriors at the Sportsground (6.30pm).
As he goes in search of his first points of the campaign, Bradley was boosted this morning by Robbie Morris, John Hearty, Andy Dunne and Keith Matthews coming through fitness tests unscathed.
Hearty comes straight back in on the left wing and Liam Bibo returns to the right as the pair form a back three combination with Fionn Carr. Troy Nathan and Aidan Wynne make way.
Frank Murphy starts ahead of Kieran Campbell at scrumhalf and will partner Ian Keatley.
In the frontrow, Morris starts alongside hooker Sean Cronin as Ronan Loughney and Adrian Flavin are named among the replacements.
Mike McCarthy replaces Michael Swift in the secondrow and Colm Rigney returns to number eight, allowing captain John Muldoon to move back to blindside flanker.
Warriors coach Sean Lineen has tasted defeat at the Sportsground before and is not taking anything for granted as targets a second away victory of the season after an opening day win over the Dragons.
"The Connacht game isn't a 'must win', it's a 'can win'," he said ahead of their departure for Galway. "They beat us last year over there in stormy conditions and they'll be hurting after a heavy defeat to the Scarlets last week. Connacht will be targeting this as a win but so will we."
The coach has made four changes to his side after defeat to the Ospreys.
In the secondrow Opeta Palepoi replaced the injured Tim Barker, while Stevie Swindall is in at blindside flanker, moving Kelly Brown to number eight and Johnnie Beattie to the bench.
Centre Max Evans has recovered from a dead leg and replaces Andrew Henderson and Hefin O'Hare is preferred to Lome Fa'atau on the right wing.
