Edinburgh v Connacht Murrayfield, 7.30:Michael Bradley is hoping his Connacht side will bounce back from a disappointing European Challenge Cup campaign and get their drive for Heineken European Cup qualification through the Magners Celtic League back on track at Murrayfield tonight.

But he has warned his side to expect a sting in the tail from an Edinburgh side also trying to recover from a disappointing European campaign. Edinburgh defeated Leinster at Murrayfield last October but that turned out to be their only win in the European Cup this season.

"They will feel they have something to prove but we are also in that position . . . We used the games against Harlequins and Bath to try out a few things and we will be hoping to get back to winning ways," said Bradley.

The sides drew when they met earlier this season at the Sportsground and Connacht will be encouraged by the fact they won in Murrayfield two years ago. Bradley has made four changes to the side that played Harlequins last week. There is one positional change as John Hearty switches from centre to right wing in place of the injured Ted Robinson, while his place in midfield is taken by Gavin Williams.

Andrew Farley and David Gannon return in place of Michael Swift and Ryan Strudwick to form the second row for the 16th time in 19 outings this season. Captain John Fogarty takes over from Adrian Flavin at hooker, while prop Ray Hogan returns to the squad having been out injured since early December.

Edinburgh, who have Scottish lock Scott Murray available, welcome back number eight Ally Hogg and winger Simon Webster for their first games since being injured in November. Prop David Young, signed in midweek on a loan deal from Leicester, is among the replacements.
