Michael Bradley has made 11 changes as well as four positional switches to his Connacht side ahead of their final pre-season friendly against Queensland Reds at the Sportsground this evening.

Fionn Carr moves from wing to fullback, with Liam Bibo and Mike Roberts taking up positions on the wings. Keith Matthews moves to inside centre, with Ian Keatley and Frank Murphy the halfback partnership.

Bradley is expecting an exciting encounter at the Sportsground. "It's a good opportunity to see probable Australian Internationals and definitely the future Queensland side for the Super 14 for the following five or six years," said the former Ireland scrumhalf.

"They'll have very exciting players on show at the Sportsground on Tuesday night and we're looking forward to game immensely."
