Connacht have made a number of changes to their team ahead of their Challenge Cup quarter-final clash against Narbonne this weekend. This is no surprise as Connacht coach Michael Bradley has practices a policy of squad rotation all season.

Conor McPhillips and Conor O’Loughlin both come into the starting line-up as Ted Robinson and Chris Keane are named on the bench.

Michael Bradley will be hoping for a wider pool of players for selection for the second round as Prop Peter Bracken and Paul Neville are both expected to come back into the contention for places at that stage.

Connacht (v Narbonne): M. McHugh; M. Mostyn, D. Yapp, T. Allnutt (capt.), C. McPhillips; E. Elwood, M. Walls; D. McFarland, B. Jackman, A. Clarke; D. Browne, A. Farley; M. Swift, M. Lacey, J. O’Sullivan.

Replacements: J. Fogarty, W. O’Kelly, M. McCarthy, T. Carter, C. O’Loughlin, D. Hewitt, T. Robinson.
